Hey everyone,
I stumbled on this forum as I was pondering the use of tungsten powder in lead bass jigs. I'm looking to get a leg up in bass tournaments (a neverending process!). I would like to find a way to increase the density of my finesse jigs so I can keep the low profile, but increase the weight (and therefre the sensitivity) and the fall rate. Setting up to mold my own tungsten jigheads is out of the question due to the high melting point (approx 6100 degrees F) and significant costs I assume would be associated. I've been considering the effects of additives in the lead and the effects it might have on the final product. Has anyone tried anything like this with any success of have any ideas that might work?
