Have any of you tried these jigs? What do you think about them? I picked up a couple but it seems crazy spending that much on a jig

I am a true believer in tungsten football jigs. Dragging something with the harder material gives me better feedback.

What about tungsten flipping/pitching jigs?

My favorite jigs. Tungsten, smaller/slimmer head and they have the best bait keeper. I can live with the price but I usually try to wait until someone has them on sale.

Yeah they seemed pretty nice and I luckily haven’t lost one yet 🤞

Do you use them as an all around jig or specifically for grass flipping?

I use the Stealth Feider for casting at or around grass and brush piles. Then it’s the Cage Feider for flipping around docks and wood.

Since I lose a jig every 1.5 hour of fishing on average they are too expensive. River fishing and bottom contact lures gets expensive.

I use them but I don’t feel like they are critical as tungsten flipping weights. If I’m pitching a jig into vegetation or brush piles I don’t believe the material give me more useful information. It’s when a football jig is connected to the bottom the material shines for me. 

 

I really like using tungsten flipping or worm weights because they are smaller and fit the baits profile better.

I’ve switched my river jigs almost exclusively to finesse footballs because of this. If you shop JDM sites the Deps and OSP jigs are $4-5 bucks which I can stomach. Plus the small profile gets snagged less.

i like them and use them but not exclusively. probably the only real benefit of the tungsten in grass is its a smaller profile then lead so less area for grass to hang on. but thats minor. probably do just as well with a lead dirty jigs. but they are a good jig. now for a dragging football jig i do believe tungsten is superior.

I really like Riots minima jig which is now tungsten and tungsten FB jigs.  I do feel like the tungsten lends itself better to a football jig, but I do like the smaller profile for flipping jigs at times.  I try to only buy them when them when they are on sale and limit to buying 1 or 2 to replace losses when the price is full retail.  Before going all in and buying a bunch, I would recommend getting 1 or 2 and seeing if tungsten is worth it to you, before investing in dozens of them.
