How much does a typical 1/15oz. Z-Man mushroom head with either a TRD or ZinkerZ (cut in half) typically weigh once they are turned into the Ned Rig?  I rarely use anything heavier than the 1/15oz. and wondered what the finished product actually weighed when casting on my medium light rod.  Just curious and thank you!

Looks like a little over 3/16oz.  

I will do a half zlinker in a bit.  I have actually been meaning to make a thread for people to post the actual weights of common plastics and lures but have thus far been too lazy to write an OP.  I bought a little scale when I was getting into BFS and it was surprising how many lures weighed more than I had thought they did.  

Awesome!  Thank you!

We have one that sort of went dormant but here add on to it.

I don't think i've EVAR used anything that light.  Jiminy Christmas!

I use 1/20 TRD on 8' ML/M Avid rod and 8# nanofil the little bait really slings out there a ways.

Oh, you know what, that jig I weighed is a 1/20 one.  I remembered that i buy the lightest ones, but forgot they do one at 1/20.  I will try and dig up one of the 1/15oz ones to weigh, but I don't think it will be a huge difference.  

In any case, here are some more MWF plastic weights:

 

They're heavier than most people realize. Been saying that for some time now.

Yea, I was inspired by your scale pictures to get one.  Before I got too deep in the BFS madness I wanted to see what the actual weights of small baits were and was really surprised how far off even stuff like inliner spinners were.  

A half zlinker will really lose a lot of weight when the salt washes out, but then it becomes so saturated with water then it evens out after the first few casts I suspect.
