What is tungsten? What advantages does it give us anglers?

Tungsten is a metal as heavy as gold, as hard as diamond and so heat-resistant that iron boils long before tungsten melts. Compared to lead, tungsten is environmentally friendly and does not release toxic substances into the water. Because Tungsten has such a high density, it is also much smaller than comparable lead heads. So you can feel the bottom of the water more clearly and you need less weight. Especially when fishing at a distance, in crosswinds, currents or greater depths. You keep the contact! Try it out.

The new Tungsten Bullets from Stripes are painted in an inconspicuous matt black, so you won't get any bites on the weight. To prevent damage to the leader, all bullets are polished by hand to prevent damage to the fluorocarbon. Whether you prefer to fish Carolina rig or Texas rig is up to you. We recommend fishing the Texas rig in the warm months and the Carolina rig in the cold months. You can also find the right accessories to tie these two rigs in our shop!
