Collection: Tungsten Fishing Weights

The advantage of fishing with tungsten over lead is insurmountable.  Tungsten metal is much denser than its lead counterpart.  Research has shown tungsten is actually 1.7 times denser than lead.  Why is this important?  Simply put you can produce a tungsten fishing weight with a smaller profile than a lead fishing weight.  For example, due to its density, a ½ oz tungsten weight will have a much smaller profile than that of a ½ oz lead weight.  The biggest advantage to this smaller tungsten profile is less chance to get hung up on the bottom of a body of water.  You’ll be able to punch through heavier weed mats, grasses and any other vegetation thrown at you. Skipping and flipping docks, pilings, stumps and any other piece of structure will have you fishing like a pro due to tungsten’s slimmer profile.

The next big advantage to fishing with tungsten is the sensitivity.  Because tungsten metal is so dense it is also super sensitive.  Every rock, pebble, sand flat, wood pile vegetation etc. is recognizable.  Once you take the time to identify the feel of what your tungsten weight is transmitting to your hand you will definitely have one of those “ah ha moments”. We hope you’ve been enlightened on why you should switch from lead to tungsten fishing weights.
