NASH Tungsten Sinker Lead

Product benefits

Designed for demanding carp anglers, the NASH Tungsten Sinker is a compact, discreet ballast accessory that pins your rigs to the bottom. Its high-density tungsten composition concentrates significant weight in a small volume, which limits the risk of detection by wary fish and contributes to a much more natural presentation of the bait. Easy to install, it integrates effortlessly with many modern rig setups.

Thanks to its metal loop attachment, this tungsten leader weight slides along the mainline or leader without damaging the line. It also serves as an ideal base for applying lead paste, allowing you to finely adjust the balance of your rig according to the nature of the spot, casting distance and fish behaviour.

Advantages and key strengths

By using a sliding tungsten weight such as the Tungsten Sinker, you significantly improve the stealth of your rigs. By pinning the leader to the bottom you reduce the chance of visual detection or contact with the line when carp patrol around the bait. This translates into more confident takes, especially on heavily fished waters where fish have already seen many conventional rigs.

The high density of tungsten also has the advantage of reducing the number of accessories on the line. Where several split shot might be necessary, a single NASH Tungsten Sinker is often enough to achieve the same ballast effect. This preserves a cleaner rig, more aerodynamic for casting and tidier when it lands on the bottom. The ability to combine it with lead paste further increases your tuning options without changing the entire leader.

Usage tips

To get the most from this accessory, slide the Tungsten Sinker onto the leader or mainline before finishing your rig. Position it a few centimetres from the hook or further away depending on the fishing situation and the type of bottom encountered. On irregular or snaggy bottoms, moving the weight slightly closer to the bait often helps stabilise the leader.

If you want to increase the mass of the rig further, use the Tungsten Sinker as a base for lead paste. Shape a small amount of paste around the weight to achieve a custom balance, whether for a balanced bait, a wafter or a more discreet presentation. Always check the balance in a bucket or at the waterside before casting to confirm that your presentation lands and remains pinned as desired.
