I was reading up on Tungsten use in jig-heads, especially for ice. Heavy as gold, very strong.
Found a few spots that carry them. In particular I like these ones with a "jewel" in the head.
I could not keep the fish off that sticky hook! Bit of flash, bit of glow, and small - tiny tiny. Hooked up loads of perch, and kept getting swiped by trout too - just didn't want them breaking them off! They aren't cheap.
And honestly - sometimes a simple ice jig with some glow and a spot - long as it's tipped - and you're on fish, you're in business!
I really like a lot of the Maniac plastics too. Gizzy bugs - and any little glowy, flashy, fluttery thing. Rat finky's do great.
I know TD has posted a number of his jig-head creations. You might search some past posts too.
Don't have links handy. PM me if you want - or if enuf interest - will find and post.
