The difference between getting bit and getting stuck

Heavy cover is where the fish live — and where ordinary rigs die.

The problem

Ordinary rigs hang up — or never get down

Light weights stall in the mat. Soft lead deforms on the first snag, chips paint on every rock, and buries your bait in the canopy instead of below it. You spend the day retying.

The fix

Dense tungsten punches a clean hole

Tungsten is roughly 1.7× denser than lead. The same weight is smaller, harder and faster — it slices through the mat, keeps a compact profile on the fall, and telegraphs every tap up the line.

How it rigs

Four parts. Ten seconds.

Thread the bobber stopper on your braid and slide the tungsten weight to it — the stopper pins the weight so it can't slide on the hookset. Tie on the flipping hook, peg the punch skirt over the hook's eye, and you're fishing the thickest cover on the lake.

Fits 15–65 lb braid. No crimps, no glue, no re-rigging mid-day.

Compliance, on the label

What's not in this kit matters as much as what is.

01

No lead, anywhere

Weights are 97% tungsten. Hooks are black-nickel steel. Skirts are silicone. The tin is powder-coated steel. No lead in any component.

02

California Prop 65

No lead means no Proposition 65 lead warning is required for this product. If you need documentation for a specific regulation, email us and we'll send it.

03

New York freshwater rules

New York restricts lead fishing sinkers in freshwater. Tungsten isn't lead — this kit is built to fish legally where lead tackle is banned.

Questions, answered

Why tungsten instead of lead?

Tungsten is about 1.7× denser than lead, so the same weight is noticeably smaller — a tighter profile through the mat and a faster, more compact fall. It's also much harder, so it doesn't deform on rocks or wood, and it transmits bottom contact better through your braid.

What weight should I start with?

3/4 oz for thinner mats and early-season hydrilla; 1 oz once the canopy thickens or when you're punching into lily pad roots. The kit includes both so you can match conditions on the water.

Will it work on my line and rod?

Yes — it's built around 15–65 lb braid. The bobber stopper pins the weight above the hook so it won't slide or beat up your knot on the hookset. Any heavy-action casting rod in the 7'3"–7'11" range pairs well.

How fast does it ship?

Tracked shipping inside the United States. Single kits ship for $4.99; two kits ship free. Current handling time is listed on the shipping page.

Returns?

30 days. If the kit isn't what you expected, see the returns page — no phone call, no retention script.
