tungsten fishing weights vs lead

Tungsten fishing weights and lead fishing weights are common choices in fishing supplies, and there are many differences between them, as well as advantages and disadvantages for each.

In terms of material characteristics, tungsten fishing sinkers are denser and heavier for the same volume, allowing the bait to sink faster to the desired water level, which is suitable for fishing deep water fish. Moreover, tungsten is hard, not easy to deform, durable, and can still maintain good shape and performance after many times of use.

Lead fishing weight, on the other hand, is the traditional choice, which is inexpensive and affordable, and is friendlier to anglers on a budget. It is relatively soft, making it easier to cut and manipulate to achieve the right weight in situations where fine tuning of the weight is required. However, lead fishing weights are slightly less dense, will sink a little slower, and may become deformed with prolonged use. Meanwhile, the use of lead may cause pollution to the environment, compared with the purchase of tungsten fishing weights will be more environmentally friendly.
