Fishing micro jigs in deep water does take patience. But by using tungsten with a much higher density than lead they fall quicker and transmit feel far better than lead. I have some 1/8 ounce lead jigs with a #10 hook and when I fish them in 30 feet of water it is very hard to feel the slight hits.....but with a 1/16 ounce tungsten jig head you feel everything. Many have asked why I just don't use a bigger lead jig if I want more weight but it does not fish the same. Now I have to get out tomorrow and find where some Gills are stacked up in the channel.
