padlin Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Does anyone have experience with tungsten spinnerbaits? if so what brand are you using? The only ones I can find are Eco Pro, not a lot of choices. Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted July 14, 2022 Super User Posted July 14, 2022 It seems not many companies make tungsten spinnerbaits. Eco Pro makes tungsten spinnerbaits as you mentioned, maybe more companies will start making them. Quote
keagbassr Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 While I'm not a user of titanium spinnerbaits,( I do have a small stash of them, couple buzzbaits too), I did see recently that tw has 1 made by molix for 15 bucks a pop. Quote

In my experience titanium is used in the wire, tungsten used in the head..... Quote
padlin Posted July 14, 2022 Author Posted July 14, 2022 No lead allowed in Ma. Another well planned out idea. The titanium spinnerbaits I looked at still had lead heads Quote

padlin Posted July 15, 2022 Author Posted July 15, 2022 No sweat, I'll go with Eco Pro's if nothing else comes up. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted July 15, 2022 Super User Posted July 15, 2022 They are the only ones I know of right now. Terminator made one that was tungsten with a titanium frame. You can still find them on Ebay but they are expensive. I have one around here I can take a picture of. Allen Quote
coachdog Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Spinnerbaits are not included in MA lead law ” Lead sinkers, lead weights, and lead jigs weighing less than an ounce. Any sinker or weight made from lead that weighs less than 1 ounce, and any lead jig (meaning any lead-weighted hook) that weighs less than 1 ounce, is prohibited for use in all inland waters of the Commonwealth. The term lead sinker shall not include any other sinkers, weights, fishing lures or fishing tackle including, but not limited to, artificial lures, hooks, weighted flies, and lead-core or other weighted fishing lines.” Quote
Super User Munkin Posted July 15, 2022 Super User Posted July 15, 2022 Another thought check with Siebert and see if he can make you some? He maybe able to get the heads from his tungsten jigs suppliers? I know who makes the Ecotungsten heads for them and it is probably the same supplier he has. Allen Quote

Thanks, I can forget tungten spinnerbaits. Quote
