Plastics weight?

Does anybody know a reference or list giving weights for any soft plastic baits?

I'd be most interested to see how different manufacturer's tube baits compare.

I've weighed some tubes. What brands of tubes are you interested in?

Curious as to why you desire weight of the tubes. I do fish Reaction Innovations Boom Boom 5.0 tubes because they are heavy (0.49 oz.) weightless or with a 1/16th oz. weight over pads

It's just a me-thing, I need to know the weight of everything I tie on. I don't have as long a history with plastics as I do other baits to get a feel of whose are heavier or lighter for the size.

I'd recommend you purchase a small pocket digital scale. I picked one up off Amazon for less than $10 and am quite pleased with it.

Just check user feedback on the products before you "click to buy". The "cheapie" I bought (M-500 Fast Weigh) got great reviews and is very accurate.

As new rods hit the stores, I'm weighing them.... :lol:

- Many smaller rod companies are now listing the weight of their rods... you could just google it.
