Weigh them the tungsten heads should be smaller than the lead ones.

Haha, if you can’t tell a difference what’s the difference? $5?

Easy way - If it's in my box, it's lead. That tungsten Kool-Aid tastes bad. Spit it out years ago.

Bite it, if your teeth dent it, it is lead ..... if your teeth break, it is Tungsten.

Lead taste different.
You may have to taste a couple of them before you can really tell the difference

This is gonna sound weird but lift up the skirt and scratch the part you suspect may be lead with a small knife. If it is tungsten you won't be able to scratch it. While you have the skirt up may try sniffing it too to tell if it’s good enough for a bass to bite it if not may wanna spray it!  Knew that was coming.  It was only a matter of time. And clarify which skirt you are lifting up!! Never know what you might find these days, ref Crocodile Dundee!
