So I haven't been able to write much over the last month(working at the new tackle shop trying to get it open by the time ice hits)but I have been working on a few ice fishing pieces and this is the newest one I have finished up.Its about Tungston Jigs, it has a little history lesson in it and also lets you guys know a few of the companies out there that make them and also got a few quotes from a few guys you might know in there. Let me know what you think.

Tungsten the future is now!

I'll be interested in reading this. I have been using Tungsten for a while now. It's great to see that the fishing community is taking notice. I have also seen a spike in the number of articles in the big publications lately.
Good Fishin'

This is my first ice season trying tungsten.  Loaded up on them this fall.  Looking forward to seeing how they work.  I'm excited, because tungsten is all I use for bass, I love it.

OIM - just a quick question, not that it matters either way but I'm curious.
Do you have an affiliation with Sportsman's Direct?  You are always pushing their products pretty heavily.

School Bus the old one. Tough to find now a days. I also have another new favorite but that gets to be my secret for a little longer.  ;D ;)
