VMC Tungsten Worm Weights are the market leader thanks to factory-grade tolerances, consistent finishes and a long reputation for quality in terminal tackle; they command a premium but return it in uniform drop rates and durable coatings. Against Eco Pro and Eagle Claw they stand out for precision control and consistent mass-to-size ratios, and compared to Reaction Tackle and Northland they trade a higher price for superior repeatability and professional-level fit and finish.

Orvis Tungsten Split Shot Refill ranks as a premium choice for anglers seeking the technical advantages of tungsten—smaller profile, faster sink, and minimal movement—making it ideal for delicate presentations where tin would be too bulky. Compared to the tin alternatives (Loon, Water Gremlin, Dinsmore) it carries a higher unit cost but offers superior performance per weight, while its precision and consistency make it more comparable to the moldable Scientific Anglers tungsten putty in terms of high-end functionality.
