Tungsten Jig – Parrot
Northland Fishing Tackle’s Tungsten Jig gives anglers a step up on traditional round ball lead jigs. Molded from Tungsten which is 30% more dense than lead, this jig has a faster fall rate and less drag in the water. This allows anglers to use a lighter tungsten jig than typically used when fishing a comparable sized lead jig. In addition, the hardness of tungsten increases sensitivity and allows anglers to feel exactly what’s on the bottom. It features a premium hook and dual bait keepers that lock on soft plastics and live bait. The Tungsten Jig comes in 4 sizes 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 and 9 colors. They are available 2 per card.
- Made from eco friendly heavy weight tungsten that is 30% denser than traditional lead jigs
- Tungsten’s hardness allows anglers better feel for bottom contact and lite bites
- Premium Mustad Ultra Point hook and dual hook keepers lock on soft plastic and live bait
- Red “T” eyes easily distinguish tungsten
