Unpainted 5mm tungsten
« on: Sep 25, 2021, 10:51 PM »
With the current supply chain challenges I’m hoping to buy some unpainted tungsten jigs in the 25-75 qty range.  It’s not a huge quantity but hoping to maybe be in the 50-65 cent per jig range.  Any suggestions on places to look?

Since we are talking about jigs, I’m curious about how strongly people feel about paint jobs on tungsten. Do you feel that certain patterns/colors produce over others? Anyone fish unpainted tungsten?  Catching fisherman or fish?
I'm just here for the ice fishing groupies..

                 I use painted tungsten jigs, color does make a difference, I also put on a colored plastic to give some extra movement.

I’ve been using the unpainted tungsten jigs from Amped outdoors for about a year. I use the 7mm for open water crappie, and the 5mm on the ice. They seem to hold-up well, and I have never broken a hook. I do not paint them, but I do use to tie hair jigs. Might not be the price point you are looking for at those quantities, but they are quality jigs.

The others are correct. Amped has them from 75 cents (3mm) up to $1.79 (9mm).

Mike,
I’d try contacting Amped, they might cut you a “quantity” deal.
