The Tackle Doctor: Adding an Insert to Tungsten Weights



The advantages to weights made of Tungsten include the size and hardness of the weights. When comparing a lead weight and Tungsten weight of the same weight the Tungsten weight is significantly smaller. The smaller size makes the weight less visible to the fish and gives it the ability to get through rocks and other cover without hang-ups easier. Another advantage of a Tungsten weight is Tungsten is harder and allows for more feel by the angler. Since it's introduction to the fishing market angler's everywhere have found Tungsten weights to be a far superior product to their lead based predecessors.

Fantastic

So can I BUY some Cal?

Had to do a double-take to make sure I was in the 'For Sale/Wanted/Trade' section .

Coffee Cal?

"The Tackle Doctor Volume 3: Adding a Bait Holder to Any Hook" shouldn't it be "Adding an Insert to Tungsten Weights"

Great Article by the way. Have a cup of jo on me .

I see how it is Cal .

Make a comment about you posting that 'thread' in the 'For Sale' section and you just up and move it .

Man, make one mistake in all these years, and they just jump all over you, huh Cal?

Another great installment in the Tackle Doctor series from A. Mart. You used to be able to find tungsten weights with inserts, but they're much more scarce now, and the ones you could find were usually sub-par, with inserts all falling out.

I actually prefer the the insert free version over the one with inserts. Straight braid will cut a grove in the insert, making it fray the line easily.

I love the previous tip on adding a bait barb on hook. Take that rebarb hooks. I now have more use on straight shank hooks.
