    Default Faceted Tundsten Jig head


    Don't know how this would do for selling as they don't come cheap being Tungsten, but I think are pretty cool! I am not sold this is something to carry since the plated heads look as good as these and don't cost as much. What you you guys think of this.

    Anyway please give me your thoughts.

    I think if you tie your own it's nice since it need no pouring and with tungsten being heavier than lead it will be a nice addition. Also got a few smooth ones that some with color and also gold and silver. Just one of the tings to tinker with. I wouldn't recommend it to most people though, just people like me that try lots of different things. Some never get shown and some take me a while to find a way to use some things best. I have lots like that in the works and some for a few months already, LOL!

    Plated is much more of something that I think can work of everyone.

    oh im right there with ya skip i do alot of stuff just to see then i hide it hoping nobody will ever find it lol
    but if the lead bands keep up you will be a way ahead of alot of us lol
    i was just looking at the head and its bigest selling point is the Facets like i said would give a nice look in spring fishing tree tops but after so deep not sure would show as much
    now i have seen some tungstan heads that was very small like 1/100 and becouse its heaver they realy looked dang small i would lover to play with tho's for a bit

    I can't tell you how heavy this one is as I haven't weighed it and maybe I should. However this is the biggest they had and is by size which is 7/32" (5.5MM) and they do go all the way down to 5/64" or 2MM in the faceted ones. In the smooth ones a bit smaller at 1/16" or 1.5MM. The small ones cost a bit less, but still no where near lead heads.

    I am thinking when spring comes fishing shallow water this may help with the sun shinning on it. I think that I will try some smaller ones next order. Maybe some that are 1/8" or 3MM.
