Until the last several years, weights were weights; you would buy lead weights and fish with them and never realize that there could be a product that really makes a difference when worm fishing. Fish Harder Companies and their Tru-Tungsten weights have changed all that. Their worm weights are extremely sensitive because they are smaller, smoother and slip through snags with ease.
The Tungsten product has revolutionized the art of worm fishing. You can now sense the bottom structure; your ability to distinguish between sand, gravel, rock mud and wood is now much easier than ever before. With the traditional lead weight unless you went really heavy everything felt the same; and as we all know bottom structure is very important to catching fish. In fact spawn and hot summer fishing is all about bottom structure on Guntersville as we are always looking for muscle shell beds in the hot water and bass will seek out a hard bottom to spawn on in the spring.
The other advantage is bait penetration in heavy cover, so many times over the years fishing lead weights you would think while flipping that your bait is on the bottom and it isn't because its caught up in weeds. The smaller size and the extremely polished finish of a Tungsten weight allows it to slip through heavy grass or cover and get to the bottom with ease. The weights also come in 6 colors to match most soft plastic colors, and make your bait look more realistic in the water.
The interesting thing to me is how Fish Harder Company has developed several products to compliment the Tungsten weight, like jigs, shaky heads, weights for swim baits and hollow bodied frogs. These products are weighted with Tungsten and allow for the same advantages of using their worm weights. You get a smaller profile head or weight and the products throw farther, fall to the bottom easier and catch more fish. The Tru-Tungsten advantage applies to these products and allow for you to be more precise in casts, feel the bottom better and penetrate heavy cover easier than ever before.
If you haven't experienced the Tru-Tungsten advantage its time you do so. You will find that fish-catching ability over comes the added cost for these products, and you're putting more bass in the boat.
