[QUOTE="SMDave, post: 395031, member: 41"] Hey guys, just wanted some quick input -- I've been unable to find heavy enough tungsten or even lead bullet weights at the local B&T shops/sporting goods stores that would be able to penetrate the thick slop and grass mats in the fisheries I frequent. I was just wondering if anybody's ever tried doing some heavy punching with standard lead egg sinkers? I have quite a few from 1/2 oz. and up for Carolina rigs (which I nearly never throw anymore anyways), and wanted to know if there are any drawbacks or issues I should be aware of. The only thing I can think of -- aside from the oblong shape obviously not being as conducive to penetrating thick mats versus bullet-shaped weights -- is that the hole where you would thread line through would be too wide to have a bobber stop/rubber peg fit snugly into. Anyone have any experience using egg sinkers in a pinch? Thanks for any feedback! [/QUOTE]
