Tied this guy today on a #8 sickle with a 5/32" tungsten bead... Duck tail and emerald shiner chenille... What do you all think? Wonder what this jig would weigh?

Can't ever post the pic from my phone how I want it lol
A 5/32 tungsten bead weighs .0139oz. Took a bit to actually find this one.
Nice looking jig! A little over 1/80 Oz for that one is light for sure!
That's a good looking tie
I use emerald shiner a lot, never have tried it with duck tail. Looks really good, I bet it will catch them for sure!!!!
Thanks guys... I was hoping that jig was a little heavier lol... Wonder which bead I would have to get to be around 1/32 or 1/48? I have had those forever and I used a lot of 1/100 oz when I probably bought them but I'm fishing a bigger deeper lake now and probably need around a 1/32 oz
did a lot of searching

I believe I have some in my tying room that are about 1/32?? I question if my memory is right or not, but I will check tomorrow when I go in there.
Good looking jig. That color combo is hot around here.
