Tungsten jigs on Ebay.
« on: Nov 25, 2012, 08:41 AM »
Apparently my last post was deleted about this topic.  I am not pushing these jigs, I am not the seller of them.  I am wanting an honest opinion if anybody has tried them out.  I am looking to buy more tungsten this year and would love to save money where ever I could. 

Again, here is the link.  If there is a problem with me posting this, then please contact me.  Once again, I am not the one selling these, just want opinions.

I bought two seperate jig packs from him. The hooks are sharp but the paint chips very, very easily. The glow jigs don't glow very bright either.

They are Skandia jigs. I bought some already, nothing wrong with them.

He might be right, I just double checked and the seller I bought from was crazyfish, not anglersmart. The jigs look identical but could be different paint. The ones I have chip so easily that I'm going to repaint them myself. Here is the guy I bought from: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251186876797&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=67884469426

It doesn't say Tunsten Jigs. It says Tunsten Weight jigs. They may be different

Yeah I contacted the seller about that and he said they were tungsten. I also weighed them against a lead jig of the same size and they are indeed tungsten.

Are tungsten jigs compared to lead jigs of the same size heavier or lighter?

A lot heavier.
Lead's Density is 11.35 gm/cm³
Tungsten's Density is 19.27 gm/cm³
So Tungsten is 1.7 times heavier for the same size jig.
(A lot heavier.)
