Anyone ever seen a worm weight lighter than 1/32? 

Major box stores will normally have 1/64

Thank you, I'll have to keep looking... best I found was 1/32 at Bass Pro, but haven't checked the other big box stores. Any suggestions/links?  TW didn't have anything smaller than 1/16 that I could find... 

Bullet weights makes a 1/64oz

I only use them and 1/32 nail weights from BPS but that was awhile ago

I didn't know they even made them that small. The smallest I've seen (and use) is a 1/16 from Eagle Claw. They are painted black, and have a hollow base to fit over the head of the hook. They work well for me.

Right or wrong I use a tiny split-shot. 

bullet weights (the brand) sell them.  A quick google search will give you a couple options.

 Also a 1/64 tungsten nail weight is super tiny, you might  be able to bury it in a worm near the head.

You could use the little weights/bodies from an in-line spinner ( ex. Mepps) that are available from online lure part stores. 

You can also get tungsten beads if you really want to shake it up lightly.

My twisted mind says that if adding 1/64 of an ounce to worm makes a difference then I need to be able to add weight in 1/64 ounce increments.  So instead of carrying 4 different worm weights up to 1/2 oz (1/8, 1/4, 3/8 , 1/2) I need to carry 32 different worm weights  up to 1/2 oz (1/64, 1/32 , 3/64 , 1/16, 5/64, 3/32,  etc, etc)

I use a split shot for anything smaller than 1/16 .

I get these really tiny tungsten bullet weights from a local fly shop. They don't have a weight on the package but they come in Small, Medium and Large. I think they are 1/64, 1/32, and 1/16. I have using the Medium 1/32 size for BFS Texas Rigged plastic. 

Wonder if a Hollow Point would do what you need? 

In theory it might, but the smallest HPs are the 17 gr 17 cal.  And 17 grains is 1/32 oz.  You'd lose a little by drilling the hole but not much.  

I was referring to these:

ah!  I haven't seen those before.  Screw in weights yes, but not 'weightless' screwins.  

They don't get used often, but they're always in my T Rig box. Really helps 'weightless' T-Rigged senkos come through grass without getting hung up or torn up. 

what is the rear diameter on it?  5" senko head sized?  little bigger?  Little smaller?

Almost exactly 5" senko sized. I'd guess that's the bait they originally made it for. 

The smallest weight that you can get reliably is 1/96 and a bunch of companyies make them.  Reins, Eco Pro, Ryugi and im sure there are more.  TW carries all of those brands, and I would bet money that you could find 1/96 and 1/64 on their site.
