Sorry but I have to disagree. I actually use a small weight above my tungsten jig so my rod loads a bit on purpose. Then even in 50ft of water I can detect even the slightest perch bite. And as a bonus it keeps down tension on your line and it doesn't blow around in the wind making the bite much easier to detect.
think small when ice fishing… I use 2.5mm and 3mm tear drop tungsten ice jigs tipped with red spikes to catch crappies all the way to 15 inches and bluegills up to 11 inches.
You said you use tungsten so you can use bigger baits? That doesn't make sense. Tungsten makes it so you can downsize.
Should you tie directly to the jig or use a small snap?
On some ice jigs there is a very small bead on the shank of the hook. Does this have a use or why is it there?
Today i found a 5 packs of 10 tungsten jigs for 86 cents!!!!!
i have to ask this: if a 1/32 oz lead jig weighs the same as a 1/32 oz tungsten jig, why pay the extra money?
Are these jigs good to use with jaw jackers? Im looking for jigs that can fish with waxy worms and crappie minnows at the same time.
Thanks, makes sense to balance your tackle, guess it's common sense.

I fish for panfish(crappy,perch,bluegill) but I don't no ounces and hook size. What is best?
