why use tungsten fishing weights

Tungsten is an extremely dense metal, with a density about 1.7 times that of lead. This means that tungsten fishing weights are much smaller than lead counterweights for the same weight. During fishing, a smaller counterweight reduces water resistance and allows the bait to sink and wiggle more naturally in the water, thus increasing fish attraction.

Lead is a heavy metal and is polluting to the environment. The use of lead counterweights can be potentially harmful to the environment, especially after prolonged use, lead may leach into the water column and adversely affect aquatic organisms. Tungsten fishing weights, on the other hand, are relatively environmentally friendly and do not cause similar pollution to the environment.

Tungsten is extremely resistant to corrosion and durable, even in harsh fishing environments such as salt water or waters containing corrosive substances. This means that tungsten fishing lock weights can be used for a long time without frequent replacement, thus reducing fishing costs.

Due to their small size and high density, tungsten fishing sinker is able to more accurately sense changes in underwater dynamics, such as water currents and fish movement. This enables the angler to more accurately determine the location and activity of the fish, improving the success rate of fishing.
