    Default Tungsten crappie jigs?


    Are there any companies out there who make tungsten crappie jig? I need to downsize I believe to get down into 25-30 fow but the wind is keeping me from being able to drop down to a 1/32 jig head. I was thinking if I could get some 1/8 - 3/32 oz tungsten head the head size would match a 1/32 size but still give me the weight I need

    Just use a double jig rig or add a split shot about 18" above your jig.

    All I have ever seen and made jigs from is Tungesten beads. None get as heavy as your talking about though.

    Well I thought about running a double jig but I'm and ex tournament bass fisherman and I quit doing that and got hooked on crappie fishing and am still fairly new to it but I'm used to throwing heavy baits didn't know if there was anything available

    A 1/16th jig on the bottom and a 1/32nd on top will give you your 3/32 of weight, but I normally use a 1/4 and 1/8 when fishing at those depths, unless the fish just gotta have the smaller profile bait on a particular day.

    Here is a link to tacklewarehouse for some tunsten jig heads. The 3/32 and 1/16 have a #2 hook, this may work for you. The other hooks are 1/0-3/0 so they may be a bit big unless you are catching rather large Crappie. I didn't spend to long searching though.

    Fishusa dot com has several tungsten jigs in the ice fishing section that might work:
