The Thinking Anglers Tungsten Droppers in XL are designed for carp and coarse anglers looking to improve their rig concealment by pinning hooklinks securely to the lakebed. These high-density weights are compatible with various line types, providing a subtle, effective presentation that helps avoid spooking wary fish, though they do require careful handling to ensure they do not slide off the line during aggressive casting.

Yes, they are designed for multiple uses. As long as the inner bore is not damaged and it still grips your hooklink securely, you can move them between rigs.
Yes, because they are made from non-toxic tungsten rather than traditional lead, they are accepted on virtually all waters that prohibit the use of lead weights.
Typically, one or two droppers are sufficient. One is usually enough to pin the link down, while a second can be added further up the rig for added stability.
No, the internal surface is smooth. However, avoid overtightening or using pliers to squash them onto the line, as this can weaken fluorocarbon or mono.
Glue is generally not required. The friction fit is intended to hold the dropper in place during casting and retrieve.
Try double-looping your hooklink through the center bore or adding a tiny piece of baiting needle or rig silicone behind the dropper to act as a buffer.
Ensure the tag end of the braid is cut at a sharp angle or use a fine splicing needle to guide the material through the center bore.
To set up your rig, simply thread your hooklink through the center hole of the dropper before tying your final knot, or slide it onto the hooklink after construction if the material allows for a snug fit.
