The selection and usage techniques of tungsten alloy fish weight revealed
September 06, 2023
Tungsten alloy fishing weight is one of the commonly used equipment in fishing, which has the advantages of moderate weight, durability, and corrosion resistance. It is very important to choose the appropriate tungsten alloy fish pendant and master the usage skills during the fishing process. Below is a detailed introduction to the selection and usage techniques of tungsten alloy fishing weight from two aspects: selection and use.
1、 Selection of Tungsten Alloy Fishing Weight
1. Weight selection: The weight of tungsten alloy fishing weight should be selected based on the fishing environment and target fish species. Generally speaking, environments with low flow rates and shallow water depths are suitable for using lighter fish pendants to maintain the traction of the fishing line towards the water; For environments with high flow rates and deep water depths, it is necessary to choose a heavier fish drop to ensure that the fish drop can quickly sink to the target location.
2. Shape and design: The shape and design of a tungsten alloy fish pendant have a significant impact on its sinking speed and water flow. Generally speaking, flat fish pendants have a faster sinking speed and are suitable for environments with fast water flow; Spherical or conical fish pendants are more prone to friction with water flow and sink slower, making them suitable for environments with slower water flow.
3. Material selection: Tungsten alloy fishing weights are mainly made of pure tungsten, tungsten alloy, and lead alloy. Pure tungsten has a hard and corrosion-resistant texture, but its price is relatively high; Tungsten alloys are relatively cheap, but their corrosion resistance is slightly inferior to pure tungsten; Lead alloy is cheap but prone to corrosion. Choose the appropriate material based on the actual situation, considering both performance and economic factors.
2、 Techniques for using tungsten alloy fishing weight
1. Choose an appropriate placement point: Choose an appropriate placement point based on the target fish species and fishing environment. Generally speaking, it is necessary to consider factors such as water flow and depth, and place fish traps near the edge of the water flow or at larger depths to increase the success rate of fishing.
2. Fishing line fastening method: Different fishing line fastening methods can be used to improve the sinking speed and stability of fish pendants for different shapes and designs. For spherical or conical fishing weights, single or double section buckle binding methods can be used to attach the fishing line to the pendant, making it sink faster; For flat fish pendants, a continuous binding method can be used to increase stability by threading and securing the fishing line through the weights.
3. Adjust the weight and shape of the fishing sinker appropriately: Depending on the fishing environment and changes in the target fish species, the weight and shape of the fish pendant can be adjusted appropriately. For example, if the sinking speed of a fish pendant is found to be too slow, a heavier fish pendant can be replaced, or a flat shaped fish pendant can be used instead; If you find that the fish pendant is prone to curling or rubbing too much with the water flow, you can replace it with a lighter or spherical fish pendant.
4. Pay attention to the angle of use of the fishing weight: When using tungsten alloy fishing sinker, attention should be paid to maintaining the vertical angle between the fishing sinker and the fishing line to maintain the stability and sinking effect of the fish pendant. An angle that is too large or too small can affect the sinking speed and stability of the fish, resulting in poor fishing results.
In short, selecting the appropriate tungsten alloy fishing weight and mastering the usage skills are the key to improving the success rate of fishing. In the actual fishing process, adjusting the weight and shape of the fish pendant flexibly according to different environments and fish species, paying attention to the angle of use, and mastering the method of tying the fishing line can achieve better fishing results. I hope the selection and usage techniques of tungsten alloy fishing weight introduced above are helpful to fishing enthusiasts.
