I used to not believe in the hype of Tg....then I got some in a tackle swap and used them for the first time. When I was dragging bottom, pulling through limbs, etc...the feel is so different. The denseness of the Tg vs. Pb (Lead) is so great that the sensitivity increases. It will send vibrations a lot quicker through your line. Now it's the only weights I buy. You can get some good deals from: http://omfishingsinkers.com/ or a few others are Woo! or Swagger.

cylinder pinch weight. 1/4 oz. This ^^^^^ in the Finch Nasty brand. The bass pro brand pinch weight is not tight enough and you will loose a bunch unless you crimp it before you use it. I just buy the Finch Nasty ones and they work very well.

I read somewhere that a heavier weight makes more noise and helps drew attention to the lure. Thoughts?

I mostly use 3/8 oz. unless windy, then I go to 1/2 oz. I only use Tungsten. I won't the noise it make bouncing off of things. Much more dense.

If you want it to fall slower through the water column not using more than 1/4 oz. I get lots of bites on the fall. If dragging through grass going to use 3/8to 1/2 oz. Windy days using 3/8 minimum. There is no one weight IMHO.

I use a bobber stop and lead bullet weights. If weight gets hung the line usually pulls through the bobber stop. And I can adjust the. Depth of the bottom super easy. Give it a try!!! Plus no line twisting
