Alright this is probably a dumb question but do you guys strictly use flipping weights when flipping? I only use the big flipping weights when I'm punching and never with works. I generally just just worm weights with everything I own. Is there an advantage to using a flipping weight in wood? Dont see why i would buy a 1/8th oz flipping weight over a worm weight. 

In my tackle box there is no difference

I've used egg sinkers on my T rigs in a pinch, the fish don't care. 

"Is there an advantage to using a flipping weight in wood?"

 

None that I am aware.

Just because its tungsten, doesn't mean its a "flippin" weight.

There are many advantages to tungsten over lead. The con is the price.

Its up to you.

There's probably not much of a difference in how the bait comes through wood, but the flippin' style helps them come through a little better in grass because they're broader to match the bulkier bait. As far as I know though the only flippin' style weights I've seen have been tungsten so I'm not sure if this is also a tungsten vs lead question or not. If it is, there are many advantages to tungsten .

Nope, not a lead v tungsten question. They're labeled differently check it out at this site http://www.elitetungsten.com/elite-tungsten-weights-products.html .  The bulky head for a bulky bait makes sense. You want to punch a bigger hole for the bait to follow through. I dont know why you would ever flip a 1/16oz though. 

Maybe I'm not understanding...If not, then disregard...

A "flipping" weight to me is a heavy enough weight to get through what I want to get through.

A "worm" weight to me is weight light enough to reach the depth I want to reach without impeding the action of the plastic.

same here

Ahhh. ...

I see now. No. .. I can't think of a real advantage either. The "flipping" shape is designed to punch grass for the most part. I can't see why it would be an advantage OR a disadvantage around other cover such as wood or what have you. Buy the cheaper one.

Sounds right to me

Confusion!

Is why I do not name my tackle, I buy bullet weights in various sizes then cast, flip, pitch, & punch with em.

I have not noticed a real life technical advantage with the "Flipping" models, lol.. I believe it's easier to find heavier weights under the "Flipping" terminology though..

I don't know why anyone would flip with a 1/16 oz weight either. I know some brands stop at 3/8 oz in their flippin' style. Maybe they figure people will buy them because they don't know any better? Or maybe there's people out there using finesse flippin' weights? Your guess is as good as mine on that one.

You can flip a weightless Senko, flipping is just using the rod with a set amount of line out to place a bait in a spot close to you. Sure, we think of it as heavy cover but really you can flip anywhere with any size weight, and to me a flipping weight is the same as a worm weight, they are both bullet weights and that is it, no difference.

Those names mean nothing to me and I just sort them by weight.
