1st Contact Fishing was built on a simple, hard-to-argue-with premise: lead sucks. This veteran-owned and operated brand set out to give serious anglers a cleaner, more sensitive, and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional lead terminal tackle — starting with tungsten. Because tungsten is significantly denser than lead, 1st Contact tungsten weights deliver a dramatically smaller profile for the same weight, superior bottom feel, and sensitivity that lets you detect subtle bites, bottom composition changes, and structure transitions that lead simply cannot transmit.
The 1st Contact collection at Angler's Pro Tackle covers nine tungsten terminal tackle products across weights, jig heads, and hooks. The tungsten weight lineup includes Worm Weights for Texas and Carolina rigs, Nail Weights and Meister Nail Weights for Neko and wacky rigs where a nail weight inserted into the bait controls the sink rate and action, and Skinny and Teardrop Drop Shot Weights — two profile options for drop shot fishing in different bottom conditions and with different line diameters. The Weedless Wacky Jig Head is a purpose-built tungsten head designed specifically for wacky rigging soft stick baits with a weedless presentation that fishes through grass and brush without constant hangups. The Tungsten Propeller Jig is an innovative finesse presentation that adds a spinning blade to a tungsten jig head for added flash and vibration. The Bladed Swimbait Hooks integrate a tungsten weighted swimbait hook with a blade for a compact, all-in-one swimbait rigging solution.
