Yeah I know...but fishing with tungsten is different. I can use tungsten...keep the same profile as a lead 1/64 jig....yet it will weigh almost twice as much.....not quite but close. There is a big difference in waiting for a 1/64 ounce to fall 30 feet and a 1/20. For me it is about keeping the same small profile and yet almost double my weight. Plus the stuff is so dense it really transmits the feel up the line far better than lead.

I guess Ill never know about tungsten then because most of the fishing I do is "If you arent getting hung up and losing jigs, you arent where the fish are....."

Do you guys have any suggestions for Pickwick in a couple of weeks? My brother is taking his 7 year old over to catch some fish. My nephew wants to bass fish, but he is used to fishing a private lake (caught 7lb. largemouth just yesterday), and I believe he will be quickly discouraged when the numbers and size go down. We are not real familar with Pickwick, but that's where they want to go. Do you guys have any guide recommendation that I can pass along to my brother? I think they might be happier going after some crappie if the weather will stabilize. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

He can try below the dam..from the bank.....the White bass have been moving in and out down there. I would think any 7 year old would love that action.
