Stainless Steel vs. Tungsten

[mayassa]

I switched to the steel sinkers a long time ago, because they did not deform or get sharp edges to cut my line.

I used the Ultra Steel weights this summer when actually fishing using bullet heads.

But I did pick up some Tru-Tungsten weights this offseason. They are a lot smaller. Look forward to using them next year.

Tungsten is all I use. I like the profile and the sound factor.

It may be me but I seem to feel everything a lot better with the tungsten. I know it is expensive but I will pay the bucks everytime to get the right feel.

Once again I gotta agree with 4 biz.  I use tungsten when going through mats.  I went to the tackle shop today to get some more drop shot weights.  I decided that since I had a gift card, I would indulge on some tungsten.  After looking at the price, 4.19 for 3 weights, I decided that at the rate I loose drop shot weights, I might as well start smoking cause it would be cheaper.  So I think for certain techniques, tungsten is the way to go.

I made a post earlier kind of looking down on tungsten.So what do I do? Monkey told me I need to pick up a few tru tungtens.I got 1/16,1/8 and some 1/2-3/4.I must say that I am impressed.I love them! I thought:well I have paid 5 and change for some cheap azz bullet weight screw ins I always use,and the quality is total s--- on those.The tungsten cost the same for the smaller ones.Even with a small 1/16 I can feel my bait hit a pebble 8 feet down.

To the ones that said "once I tried it I never will go back",I am joining you now. Steel shares many of the same attributes and is cheaper.Problem is they are HUGE.

It's amazing stuff ain't it? The cost doesn't seem so bad now does it? For shore anglers like myself they work like a structure finder,helps me figure out what's on that bottom.
