A Vike Tungsten Mojo (or Voodoo) weight is a small, high‑density tungsten sinker designed for finesse “Mojo” rigs, offering better sensitivity, a compact profile, and smoother passage through cover than traditional lead weights
Vike’s Tungsten Mojo/Voodoo weights are tungsten‑based (around 97% tungsten) cylindrical sinkers in sizes such as 1/8 oz, 3/16 oz, and 1/4 oz. They are sold in small packs (e.g., 4 per pack for 1/8 oz) and are used on Mojo rigs — a variation of the Carolina rig that uses a slender rubber “bobber stop” on both ends. or a thread‑through method to hold the weight in place.
How it works in fishing
On a Mojo rig, the weight is positioned ahead of the bait on the leader, often secured with a bobber stop on both ends.
The weight’s low profile and high density allow:
- Better casting distance without adding bulk
- Improved sensitivity to subtle bites
- Easier navigation through cover (weeds, debris, rocks)
- Natural movement — the cylindrical shape can “lift” over obstacles and create subtle lateral motions that can trigger strikes.
- This makes them effective for finesse presentations in clear water, after storms, or when fish are “shut down” and not taking conventional baits
