Tru-Tungsten Weights

[Vinny Chase]

So i have never used these weights before in my life, but i think its about time i see what all the hype is about. I noticed on cabelas website there are worm weights and flipping weights, do you guys use both? And also what sizes do you use the most?

Thanks,

VC

A lot of people around here also like to use the flipping weights for their Carolina rigs.  I bought one the other day and lost it after fishing for about 20 minutes. 

That has been my only endeavor into Tungsten weights.  I love the sensitivity but I still catch a whole lot of fish slinging lead.

I use them for everything.

I like tru tungsten weights because the shape makes them harder to get stuck (it still can get stuck). I also feel that its easier to get unstuck if you catch a rock.

I use flippin weights for everything. I like the shape and small profile plus it sits on top of baits easier.

The TT Flippin' Weights have a larger profile than their standard bullet weights.

What weight sizes did you go with? Like almost everyone that is not a pro i'm trying to only get what i need to and will use.

If you're not fishing in heavy slop and the wind isn't howling, you'll seldom need anything heavier than a 1/2 oz weight. I prefer 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz but I will throw a 1/2 oz on a carolina rig.

Sorry, I was speaking in terms of lead vs. tungsten.

RoadWarrior - You'll be amazed at the sensitivity difference. I thought people were blowing smoke when they said tungsten was more sensitive, but it really is. If you're worried about cost, don't get a tungsten jig because you'll only want to use them after you try one

i finally broke down and bought some tru tungsten 1/20z flippin weigths because i needed 1/2oz weights and no stroe near me had 1/2oz lead weights availible

the 1.5 TT Flipping weight is perfect for C-rigs

I love them for T-rig or Carolina rigs. The feel you get is far superior to lead. The cost though can be a bit to absorb. I do use less expensive alternatives when I may lose more tackle then normal.

1.5 oz weight for a carolina rig? for what reason? you fishing in 100 ft of water?

The coating on the flippin weights holds up longer.

The coating on the flippin weights holds up longer.

that's a good point to add about the cost difference. If you fish painted weights the coating is going to last longer, giving you more use for your money...as long as you don't keep losing weights.

No but 15-40 ft and with a heavier weight you maintain better bottom contact and feel for what the bait is doing. Especially when there is current you want the heavier weight .On a C-rig maintaining bottom contact is the most important thing to me so heavier weight the better
