I ordered a small scale that reads out in grams to weigh my tungsten jigs I’ve been tying up .
I had a good idea what they weighed but curiosity got me .
I received it this afternoon and had just a few minutes to check a couple of bare jigs and my estimates were right on .
The size 10 Mustad Ultrapoint hook with a 4mm tungsten bead weighs slightly over .5g , slightly more than a 1/64oz jig .
The same hook with a 4.6mm tungsten bead weighs around .85g ( approximately 1/32oz)
I’m going add some different Trout magnet bodies and check them again .
I also have some size 12 and size 10 Mustad streamer hooks with 4.6mm tungsten beads I need to check .
I would like to get a few up to around 1g , but I would probably have to go up in hook size to look right and fit right with a larger tungsten bead .
Pics coming .
