Had a couple of hours to fish this afternoon. Myself, Catt, and Scaleface spoke about tungsten slip sinkers the other day, so, I stopped by Wal Mart and bought two packs of SK tungsten slip sinkers. 1 package 1/8, and 1 package 3/8 oz. So far, I think I like em. I like the smaller size, and I think they transmit some extra feel on my Texas rig. I rigged with a Zoom finesse worm, color Old Purple, Gama 2/0 straight shank hook, and my usual Big Game 12lb line. I can see the benefit of tungsten, although I've fished standard lead sinkers for many years. They're certainly not cheap at 10 bucks for eight sinkers. I'm still undecided on them. I may try some brass sinkers also. I can paint them myself if need be. Ended up catching one keeper, and three smaller fish today. I'm sure I'm late to the party on these tungsten weights, as it seems like everyone has been throwing em for a while now. I still need to fish them some more to be completely sold on the benefit verses the cost. Lead weights have worked well for me for a long time, so, we'll see how it goes....
