Tungsten darts become the most popular darts among professional players, because tungsten darts are made of high-density metal, so they can be smaller than darts with other material. Besides, tungsten darts have delicate knurling, which make them worthy of being collected.

Start with 50 of the world’s best bass anglers.

Send them out on Lake Ouachita in the dog days of August.

Just to complicate matters, remove several feet of water from Lake Ouachita, and then send a bizarre mid-summer cold front across Arkansas to suddenly reduce air temperatures by some 15 to 20 degrees.

Oh, and last but not least, offer a half-million-dollar reward to the one angler who can decipher such a labyrinth of conditions across four grueling days of competition, and the result is the 2015 Forrest Wood Cup.

One man who is familiar with solving such complicated bass fishing equations for big money is Jacob Wheeler. In fact, it’s safe to say that with a Bass Fishing League All-American trophy (2011) and a Forrest Wood Cup (2012) already in his living room, Wheeler has a knack for figuring out the most complex of conditions when the stakes are highest … and he is at it again.

Wheeler took the day-one lead at the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita and hosted by Visit Hot Springs and the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism with 16 pounds, 2 ounces and now is poised to possibly be the first two-time Cup winner in history.

Ironically, Wheeler fished his first Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita in 2011 and finished 12th. In that event he mostly committed to fishing around the bank with top waters.

Wheeler says this time around that pattern is not as strong, but he still feels that’s where the potential for a quality bite is highest. Today he had to alternate between suspended fish in timber and wolf packs of hunting bass on the bank to accumulate his leading weight. His numbers of fish are coming from his suspended-fish pattern, but his quality bass – a lone 5-pounder – came shallow.

“I started the day out in the timber chasing schoolers and suspended fish just to get a few in the live well,” Wheeler adds. “It seems like those suspended fish are bunched up a little tighter in the mornings and are a little more reliable during the early hours.

“Those bank fish are better quality, but they’re not near as consistent,” he continues. “For me, trying to run the bank all day is too risky this time around. Getting a few in the well early from the trees let me calm down and fish the bank like I needed to. My biggest fish of the day came from the bank. I ran that pattern for another hour or so and didn’t catch another one. Like I said, it’s a dicey deal.”

Later in the afternoon, Wheeler returned to his deeper fish and managed to cull up a couple times.

“Today worked out perfectly,” he adds. “Going into it I figured I needed 14 to 15 pounds today to get off on the right foot for a winning pace. We still have three more days to go, and I think I’m going to need at least one more 15-pound day and two more 12- to 13-pound days to make it happen – that’s my goal anyway.”

Tungsten is the most popular of all the substitutes to make fishing sinker, tungsten fishing sinker is heavier, denser, and smaller than traditional lead sinkers in the same weight class. So tungsten fishing sinker is suited for professional fishing match.

World number one van Gerwen is bidding to win his fifth World Series of Darts title in the inaugural televised event from New Zealand, which is heading for a sell-out at the Trusts Arena.

The Dutch superstar will face stiff opposition in his first round contest, though, after drawing the DartPlayers New Zealand number one Rob Szabo, a former World Championship qualifier and World Cup of Darts competitor.

New Zealand's Mark Cleaver, who won through Wednesday afternoon's second DPNZ Qualifier in Swanson, will make his big-stage debut against June's Japan Darts Masters finalist Peter Wright.

Wednesday night's third DPNZ Qualifier, Australia's Rob Modra, will make his TV debut against Gary Anderson, the World Champion and Premier League champion who is a three-time World Series of Darts semi-finalist this year.

Thursday's final DPNZ Qualifier is set to take on 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor, who is bidding to win a fourth successive World Series of Darts event following his wins in Japan, Perth and Sydney, where he also landed a nine-darter last weekend.

Adrian Lewis, last weekend's Sydney Darts Masters runner-up, has drawn DPA Qualifier David Platt, while Perth Darts Masters finalist James Wade takes on Australian World Cup ace Paul Nicholson.

Leading Australian Simon Whitlock has drawn number eight seed Stephen Bunting, while Raymond van Barneveld will take on another top DPA star Loz Ryder, who won through Tuesday's opening DPNZ Qualifier in Swanson.

The draw was made live on Radio Sport's "The Sauce" by presenter D'Arcy Waldegrave. A draw was made at the DPNZ Qualifier on Wednesday night to determine which of the final two qualifiers faced either Phil Taylor or Gary Anderson.

Tungsten darts are popular among professional players, when comes to the big event like Auckland Darts Masters, players would choose tungsten dart to get a higher score in games, for tungsten darts are denser, smaller than other materials darts.

The weather across the Ozarks was unstable and volatile today – much like the leader board on the third day of the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita.

First there was rain. Then sun shows. Then wind. Then another round of storms thrashed the top 20 pros just before check-in.

Names on the leader board swirled about as well. Weights were the lowest of the week, with Bryan Thrift checking in the day’s best weight of 14 pounds, 3 ounces for his biggest move of the tournament from 10th to fourth place. But some, like day-two leader Ramie Colson Jr., endured the dark clouds of not being able to complete a limit, which dropped him to third place.

By day’s end it was Jacob Wheeler who found the sunniest spot atop the leader board, regaining his first-place position from day one with a 14-pound limit, which gives him a three-day total of 41 pounds, 1 ounce and a scant 12-ounce lead over second-place pro Brad Knight.

Interestingly, as Wheeler and Knight battle it out on the final day, their strategies are very different. Wheeler is running a true pattern across the lake. Knight, however, is banking primarily on one area for the win.

From the beginning Wheeler has ascertained that he knows the pace, the technique and the baits to win on Lake Ouachita in August.

His two-part approach is to haunt schoolers in the morning for a few keepers to get his live well wet. Then at about 9 a.m. he hits the bank to gamble on the better quality, yet more inconsistent bream-eating bass. For three days, his plan has worked, except for a small hiccup on day two when he lost three 3-pounders that would have given him a bit more cushion going into the final day.

“I said from the beginning it would take two 15-pound days and two 12- to 13-pound days to win,” Wheeler says. “I feel I’m on that pace. I had the bites yesterday to pad that a little bit, but those bites at least let me know that I’m doing the right thing.”

Today Wheeler started the day with three keepers from the schooling spot, and then he hit the shallows to catch three more off the bank. One of those was close to 4 pounds – the exact kind of kicker Wheeler is counting on to reach the teens and stay on the winning pace.

No matter if he is fishing schoolers or running the bank, Wheeler is doing nearly all his damage on topwater walking baits. During the day he is rotating through a variety of walkers, but his two primary choices are a Storm Arashi Top Walker and an older Reaction Innovations Vixen in a smaller size than the standard Vixen.

“I have one bank that I hit each day because it has produced several of my better fish,” he says. “Other than that I am constantly running new water, fishing fast and staying on the move. I plan to run the exact same program tomorrow: schoolers early and then running the bank the rest of the day.”

Should Wheeler win on Sunday, he would make history as the first two-time winner of the Forrest Wood Cup.

Tungsten fishing sinker is suited this kind of professional games for its high-density and small volume, in the mean time, tungsten fishing sinker is harmless to environment.
