Tungsten

[GoneFishingLTN]

I'm starting from scratch and am buying tungsten flipping and punching 

can you give me what you think is the must haves

 

1/4 -1/2 flipping what else would you put with that as far as sizes?

 

for tungsten worms weights I'm getting 1/8-1/2

 

let me know if I'm missing any weights

Mix in a 3/4 and  1 ounce, sometimes you need to penetrate cover and sometimes the faster fall rate will get you reaction strikes that less weight won't generate.

Ok so I'll add them two sizes and I should be set?

 

also how about punching what do you recommend

1/4 Flipping Rocket 6 of black and 6gp

3/8 Flipping 6 of black and 6gp

I have close to what Siebert posted, except of 6 and 6 I have 4 and 4 in the color department.

Just a thought that might save you some money, less than 1/4 ounce I go with black brass instead of Tungsten as the weights that light have such a small profile to begin with.

3/4, 1, 1 1/2 black is all I use in tungsten bullet weights.

1/8 to 3/8 oz black and crawdad painted brass bullet weight.

1/2 oz still have lots of black lead bullet weight.

Only reason for me to use tungsten is the smaller size in the heavier weights.

Thank you for this! One question though how come you stop at 3/16 for your worm weights

I like the bigger hole in the flipping weights over the smaller hole in the Rocket weight.  I typically use 15lb to  65lb braid.  Its easier for me to thread the line through. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Rockets
