Joe Crumrine knows the deal with sinkers—they need to be durable, they need to be affordable, and most of all, they need to work. At ICAST 2017, the president of Bullet Weights will debut an all-new tungsten sinker that comes with a tactical twist: a matte black build that’s impervious to wear. It’s called Tactical Tungsten, and it hits the market at a time when alternatives to the age-old lead sinker couldn’t be hotter.“The finish isn’t painted on,” says Crumrine. “It’s a tarnish on the metal that we fuse into the sinker during the pouring process. It can’t chip off. It can’t scratch. That sinker is matte black for life.”Bullet Weights knows that different situations call for different sinkers. “Some fishermen want bright colors at times. Some fishermen want glossy colors, but other times you don’t want to bring as much attention to the weight, and for those times, we’ve created Tactical Tungsten.”
