Info on fishing with tungsten jigs.
I just pulled the trigger on 35 bucks worth of tungsten jig heads....and you don't get many for that price...LOL. I read an article from InFiserman magazine about catching big Gills with them in the winter so thought I would give it a try. No need to go into the detail about the article but the theory is it lets me fish the same size as a 1/64 head but it weighs 1/32. This will allow me to cast much further....sink much faster to the bottom....and supposedly have more feel of the jig head. The first two I agree with but having never fished with tungsten I don't know about the feel part. So my presentation will be the same size as a 1/64 head but will sink faster....it takes forever for a 1/64 to fall 30 feet. So about in December I am going to try them out and will report back. I was wondering if anyone on the forum has ever fished tungsten and if so what are the differences...if any.
Regards
