Over the years I've become pretty partial to brass.  I have not tried tungsten yet but it sounds like they might be similar.  I have stuck with brass because I think they make more noise then lead when you knock them into rocks, wood etc.  They seem to enhance my "feel" and I've always attributed that to brass being harder.  When fishing tubes I really like the Thunder Bullets 1/16 oz rattling bullet weights.  Anyway, anybody ever compare tungsten with brass.  I've read/heard that tungsten increases feel too.

not sure what tungsten would feel compared to brass but first time i used it switching over from lead it was rediculous how much more you could feel, you can not only tell the type of bottom your fishing but say you are fishing a rock pile you can tell the size of the rocks you are fishing. i found that its alot easier to tell when a fish picks up your bait and the smaller profile has to help with the lure's presentation and as for the cost of tungsten which turns most anglers off of tungsten think of it this way $4.99 for 4 so $1.25 a piece but you end up catching 25 fish before breaking off means that you pay $.05 a fish to use tungsten weights.
