Ive been a holdout for years sticking with my tried and true lead sinkers, but that may be at an end. Price is what has kept me from switching. Lead sinkers cost pennies, tungesten cost a dollar or more. That being said its not terribly often I break off a hook and sinker anway and im at a point where I feel I should take advantage of any advantage I can within reason. I opted for the h2o sinkers which come already with the plastic insert. So guess I will see if the harder and more compact tungsten helps me out
