Super thin tungsten “knife jigs”. Had to order some to try since the compact ones were so effective.

Duo Semi Long 125g 13cm/ 5″ non-tungsten jig on bottom for comparison.

The price of tungsten jigs has been steadily climbing because of various economic factors having to do with the production and import from China. A manufacturer is letting me buy these jigs in relatively small quantities but they are so expensive even at wholesale pricing. The current retail price of the 180g size is over $40!

The thin, long jig is meant to “slide and sweep” back and forth as it falls, unlike the more compact tungsten jig shapes that fall quicker and need to be jigged with the rod tip to look like small crustaceans or bait fish. Knife jigs work well on mid water column fish like pelagics and jacks, but these have been proven to work well skipping over the bottom from shore.

I was sent a blue/silver/pink 160g jig and a green/gold 180g jig to inspect. The almost holographic finish was dazzling, and the thin jigs couldn’t be bent. I was convinced and ordered a batch of 120g and 180g jigs to satisfy the shore, kayak and boater’s needs.

Stay tuned to hear how these unique jigs fish.

In this video from GoGoGoFishing Nabu, you can see how a smaller version of the lure looks skipped underwater.
