SMITH Tungsten Insert Pack

Product Highlights

This SMITH tungsten insert is a soft bait accessory designed for anglers who want to precisely refine their rig presentation. Thanks to its high density, it allows modifying the lure's action, sink rate and search depth without changing the lure model, offering great adaptability on the water.

Discreet and compact, this soft lure weight nests directly inside the body of the lure to preserve a natural profile and avoid spooking wary fish. It is an ideal solution to quickly adjust your setup according to current, depth or predator activity, while benefiting from the reliability of SMITH, renowned for high-quality accessories.

Technical Features

• High-density tungsten weighting insert providing significant mass in a small volume and increased sensitivity.

• Design suitable for many soft-lure rigs, whether used in steady retrieves, bottom-scratching or vertical presentations.
• Smooth surface to limit the risk of tearing the lure during insertion or repeated animations.
• Product developed by SMITH, specialists in technical accessories for modern lure fishing.
• Available in multiple weights to adjust swimming depth, sink rate and lure behavior depending on fishing conditions.

Advantages and Key Features

Using a tungsten insert for soft lures offers a decisive advantage over traditional external weights. By placing the weight inside the lure, the center of gravity is precisely controlled, allowing for improved stability, descent posture and the lure's ability to stay near the bottom without excessive snagging.

This type of accessory also preserves a very natural silhouette. Unlike bulky jigheads, the insert remains nearly invisible, which is particularly useful on educated fish or in clear water. The lure retains its suppleness, vibratory power and realistic appearance while benefiting from optimized weighting.

Finally, this tungsten insert provides excellent line sensitivity. Tungsten transmits information better than softer metals, helping the angler feel bottom structure, obstacles and the most subtle bites. It thus becomes a precision tool to instantly adapt retrieve and increase hook-up rates.

Usage Tips

To fully benefit from this SMITH weighting insert, we recommend using a needle or a thin tool to create a passage through the soft lure body. Then gently insert the weight at the desired position, taking care not to force in order to preserve the lure's integrity.

The insert's position directly influences lure behavior: placed forward it promotes faster descent and a more diving action; positioned further back it can accentuate oscillation or help stabilize the lure in currents. By adjusting placement and, if necessary, the number of inserts, you can fine-tune the presentation very precisely.

This SMITH fishing accessory is suitable for both recreational sessions and competitions. It can be used with many types of soft lures (shads, finesse baits, creatures, slugs, etc.) and adapts to different approaches: prospecting with cast-and-retrieve, bottom-scratching or more vertical animations from a boat. After the fishing session, it is recommended to check the condition of lures and remove inserts if storing them for a long period.
