Northland’s New Tungsten Crappie King Jigs

Jigs for panfish are nothing new in the fishing world. Lead has been king for the last century when it came to jigs, a traditional mix of lead, hook, and maybe feathers and paint. Though now it is time to bring panfish jigs up to speed with the rest of fishing technology with new modern materials that will help put more fish in the boat. We are talking about tungsten, that incredibly hard, and dense metal that has been tacking the terminal tackle sector by storm. The properties that make it highly desirable also make it difficult to work with. However, that has changed in recent times with tackle-makers having figured out how to leverage tungsten into some wicked jigs and terminal tackle. While tungsten tackle has been mainly targeted towards bass, walleye, and ice fishing realms for many years now, Northland Fishing Tackle is now introducing the Tungsten Crappie King Jigs, a tungsten jig to target panfish.

The Tungsten Crappie King Jig is a compact bite-sized jig that packs a heavy punch. Tungsten is 30% denser than lead, letting these jigs will sink rapidly into the panfish strike zone. Once down there, anglers will have a tactilely sensitive experience with the jig being more sensitive due to the hardness of the tungsten. It will telegraph any nibbles and taps up the line and rod readily to anglers. On top of it all the tungsten is non-toxic and more environmentally friendly. They will be available in two weights, of 1/16 oz. (#8 hook) and 1/8 oz. (#6 hook), and in 8 vibrant different colors. They will be available in Spring of 2024 and will cost $6.59 per 2 jigs.
