Tackle Week 2023: The best new lures for walleye, bass, trout, northern pike, muskies and panfish

Best Panfish Jigs

¼ OZ TUNGSTEN

At long last, there’s now a panfish-style tungsten jig big enough for trophy-sized crappies, yellow perch, stocked trout and fussy walleye. Tungsten jigs this heavy simply didn’t exist until Big Sky Flies in Medicine Hat, Alberta, designed its custom mould.
