Hey fellow tyers,

I love tungsten for my slimmer profile patterns (Zebras, Poison Tungs) for the quick sink rate, however, I am trying to get away from using tungston beads for my buggier patterns where hiding the lead wraps is easier and for cost reasons. I would really like to hear your opinions on the amount of lead wraps and size of lead needed to replace a 5/64 tungsten bead rto get the same sink rate. I normally tie on 18 scud hooks.

Thanks
steve
