At home I have a link saved where you could buy a tungsten powder/epoxy kit? It may be something worth looking into? I was going to try it in a spinnerbait mold but was sidetracked by other projects.

That's a VERY nice looking jig. Love the fox fur in there. I tie my own too.
I would like to have some done with bear hair. In my tests it works the best for really cold water.

Some of you guys need to come do some real winter bass fishing with me. I am talking about avoiding ice floating downriver, 35 degree water temps, swishing the rod in the water because I eyelets froze shut. Produces the biggest SM of the year though?

You can run for quite a ways as the water is deep. The furthest point I usually go is right past the Potomac Fish and Game Club. It is on the MD side and has its own dock and on the opposite side (WVA) there will be a big pumping station. Once you reach that point the water starts to get about 3' so you can run it just be careful.
As far as lures I would bring small tubes, finesse worms and especially hair jigs.

For really cold water these are what I use. I am not affiliated with him as I am just a customer but these work. I suggest ordering whatever your most productive color and pairing it up with a Zoom tiny chunk or Uncle Josh pork 101. He has made custom colors for me in the past and I can say these worked in 36 degree water for SM here in Maryland.

Any soft plastic will work but I like 3-4.5" no salt baits because they float. The 2 main baits I use are a 3" Berkley DS worm (discontinued) in smoke or a 3" DS minnow that I hand pour myself similar to the Hawg Shad. I use to use the Hawg Shads and still have some but they are expensive so I make my own.
