Bluegill Jigs

Where are the cheapest tungston jigs to be found. Hate paying 2bucks or more each. Tight Lines Rich

I don't know the answer to your question, but does it have to be tungsten? I catch plenty of gills on plain ol' leadheads.

Look on ebay. I doubt you'll find them anywhere else for less than $2 each.

I use sickle, leadhead 1/64 or 1/80 jigs and catch all the 'Gills and Shellcrackers I want. Many times I may opt for a teardrop ice jig, a #8 or #10 hook tipped with a waxie under a bobber. That will get you bit.

Thank you Chaunc. He let me know tungston shows up better on flashers which are primarily used in ice fishing. I learned something today.

Me too! Interesting.

Yeah DB4D. That is why I love this site. I am always learning something new to help my fishing get better or to understand better why people use certain things.

Hello Ship, alias Mike. This is Don from TOLEDOOOOO !!! We use a lot of tungsten jigs here for hard water fishing. Not only to see on flashers , but, the drop rate is unbelieveable compared to lead. It really helps , getting down to a good bite & to seek out larger fish. You can also use a much smaller jig & lighter line for those stubborn gills. Good luck to all. We will be walking on water here in N/W ohio, in probably 2 or 3 weeks.

The fishing part sounds good but...it's that "ICE" part that gives me the willies.
