tungsten

Guys,,, I'd like to try tungsten bullet weights for the first time... is there a true difference in brands or quality or anything special to look for ??? TIA

Things to look for...

1) Tg if not properly manufactured will break your heart. The line tie area where you knot meets the weight needs to be clean and smooth.
2) There's many many companies that offer Tg around the same price. So do the math for the best price.
3) Most Tg is made in China and labeled for their customers

There's a sponsor on here that I order my Tg from: Native Tungsten. John responds quickly, has good prices on great weights, and quick to ship. I primarily use his non chip, black oxidized weights. Just a confidence thing for me.

You're also going to get several post about ordering from China. I do this when I can't find what I'm looking for with vendors.

OM Fishing or Joy Fishing are 2 of the popular ones.

I haven't found a difference with varying brands. I think most every brand that sells tungsten markets it as 97% tungsten. The big thing for me is that I want a tungsten weight without an insert. Other guys are exactly the opposite and will only fish weights that have the insert. That would be something to consider. Otherwise, the only other thing I can think of is the finish. Some have come out with a chip-less finish which cost a little bit more. And some will stamp the weight on them so it makes it a little easier to know what you're grabbing.

Hard to beat Woo! Tungsten for the price and quality if buying from places like tackle warehouse. It’s what I gravitate towards even though I can get a discount with another brand (which woo! Is still cheaper). Like said above, 99% of tungsten Is made in China so most companies are just putting a logo or coating on them for the same product.I believe Titan Tungsten is the only US manufacturer.

We offer tungsten weights. My Rocket weights are the same as a "bullet" weight. We also have Flipping, Dropshot and more.

The flat black ones with the size stamped on them seem to be my fave.. the painted ones get chipped…

I use titan because I stocked up really big a while back…. I think angler or woo are the same thing..

I've ordered from RMP a while back....looks like they have a lot less to choose from on their website.....maybe they cut back on the ones that weren't selling......

I’ve been using these, good weights.

I've tried several and Titan so far for me has been the best....might be a little hard to find at times but theres a lot of Walmarts that carry regular worm weights and the owner is very engaged with his customers on social media as to what folks like or need...very good stuff...

Are they actually made in USA? I was under the impression that no tungsten was made in the us.

According to the website they make one series of weights here.
