Hammy the bronze colored jig has a hole through the center and a steel hook is put through the hole and epoxied in....that jig head is a little more than 1/64. I had these made by the guy that runs Trout Magnet guide service. The tear drop jigs came from eBay and weigh about 1/25. The tied jig head and the other jig head I bought from Sportsman Direct and they are 6mm in size and weigh 1/16 of an ounce. The hook in the silver looking jigs is a fine wire hook that has been soldered into a slot in the jig head. I don't particularly care for those hooks. I am going to try to take those hooks out and solder in some good hooks like in the bronze colored jig head. The cheapest way to use and afford the tungsten is to buy the beads and put a hook through the center of the bead holes and epoxy them in. I will not use them in summer as cost is too much and I don't really need to use them in summer....unless I am after Gills in 30 feet of water. You get an amazing feel with tungsten....but man is it expensive. I hope to get to Pickwick this week and try out my deep water spot for the Gills and use them and hopefully catch a hundred or so.
