About the Tungsten Ice Jig
Tungsten ice jigs are the workhorse of serious ice fishing. Tungsten is denser than lead, so you get more weight in a smaller profile — meaning faster sink rates, better sensitivity, and a more natural baitfish-sized presentation. The subtle action on a 1/32–1/8 oz jig tipped with a waxworm or spike is what produces when fish are finicky in cold, clear water. Go smaller than you think necessary. In winter, fish inspect everything.
