Large Tungsten Jigs

[SkunkedAgain]

Bob, as a former rocket scientist you're points seem valid to me, the density does result in less volume and should result in less drag, so it should fall faster... Never really tested this, but I know that is the argument that they like to talk on the differences... To me the point of smaller size and equally heavy is the reason I like the tungsten... it is easier for the fish to take when they get finicky (down sizing but still have weight to get it down)... But I think you also need to remember to have a line that won't trump your gains by going to the tungsten.. If your line has kinks (in-line reel design helps this) or is slow to sink because it likes to float, (hear rumors that fluocarbon has the best sink rate) then the tungsten won't really help you much... You need to look at the whole picture.. Later J
