Tungsten Weights

[Davo]

I've always used just plain old lead bullet sinkers for my worms. Always. Anyway, I bought a ton of Tungsten weights at SW the other day just to burn some cash. I've heard a lot of people talk about them but just thought they were another fad. Well, they aren't. Holy cow. For one, they are about 1/2 the size of lead and when teamed with Flourocarbon you can feel friggin everything. I know that they can bust glass beads and all but I am sold. I don't really care for the stratospheric price of them, but you get what you pay for and I think these are the real deal.

HEY DAVO I AGREE WITH YOU.I SWITCHED LAST YEAR TO ALMOST ALL TUNGSTEN AND I THINK THE SENSITIVITY AND THE SMALL PROFILE ARE GREAT.I DID HAVE THE PAINT FINALLY CHIP OFF A TRU-TUNGSTEN WEIGHT BUT IT WAS AFTER I USED IT FOR A WHILE.

I love 'em... make sure you don't "peg" the weights though, it will cut into the line. If you need to peg it, be sure to use a bobber stopper or something of the like above it.

I agree Davo, I've been using them for almost a year and the sensitivity is the first thing that I noticed and they seem to last a lot longer too, which might make up for the additional cost. emoThumbsup

I got hooked on them last year as well and they are awsome on a c-rig w/ braid! I also like them for fishing grass because the smaller size lets the weight slide through the vegetation easily.

I told Cory that they were really proud of their product and he said "It ain't us, it's the makers of the <font color="#6600ff">tungsten</font> weight thingie."  yeah, right......FA
