BBZ-1 or Tru-Tungsten

[aikenyounggun]

I want to buy a 4 inch swimbait and I'm trying to decide between a BBZ-1 and a Tru-tungsten. they are both 20$ and I've seen good reviews for both but which is better. the only differneces i see is the trutungsten has the weight balls so it can be a float/slow sink or a slow sink/fast sink. while for the BBZ you would have to buy three to do the job of two trutungstens. also i heard the BBZ's soft tails come off. Please post any advice and what you think about either one.

I say you should just go ahead and feed the bait monkey and just buy both of them. LOL

I own both of them and like the action on the BBZ a little better.
Both are great baits and I have caught fish on both of them.
The tails on the BBZ will come off. If you go with the BBZ, i suggest buying an extra one.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

talking about them with a local tackle shop guy and he said he got reports of the spro joints binding up. he's only gonna sell the tru tungsten

you had any of those probs, cass?

[cassidyta]

I haven't had any issues with the joints on mine. The only issue I have had is when trying to make it change direction and that was because I just hadn't mastered the skill properly.

When I am done with any of my jointed swim bait, I like to let them sit out for a while to dry before just dropping them back into the bag. For some of my high end one's I carry a can of compressed ait and will use it to blow out any water around the joints before putting it away.

the compressed air is a good idea
