Products[edit]
WOO! Tungsten targets niche markets of fishing and outdoor enthusiasts. The company specializes in fishing sinkers made from tungsten, a dense and strong metal, and an environmentally safer alternative to lead.[6] When attached to fishing line, WOO! Tungsten’s products are used to sink fishing bait that would typically float without any weight attached. Apart from fishing tackle products, it also sells officially branded apparels.
