Underwater Big Bows on Dead Stick Presentation

[Brandonkop]

Here's the GoPro Down Hole Perspective of some Big Rainbow Trout Reacting to the Dead stick presentation of a tungsten jig and half meal worm. If you fish for trout and still haven't tried a dead stick presentation with a micro jig then you are truly missing out. Some of the biggest fish on some of the most off days will still hit this set up. Check out this underwater video footage and I hope your eyes are opened to trout behavior under ice and the usefulness of a dead stick / auto fisherman.

Thanks for posting! I'll have to expand my fishing arsenal. Shucks!

Tungsten by Brandon Koperski, on Flickr

I use a lot of different Tungsten Jigs, but I started using these ACME tackle ones this year and really like them, nice strong hook for the size of lure and great paint finish.

Some other tungsten I've started using are BackCountry Tackle which has low priced online sales and I'm doing a draw for a free giveaway once my most recent Cascade video hits 2000 views to anyone who has commented on that video.

I also have purchased online from Kenders Outdoors.

Fiskas is another company that makes tungsten jigs that you'll see in the store in AB.

Cabelas brand probably best bang for your buck since you get three in a pack.

VMC Hooks, Northland Tackle, Custom Jigs and Spins also make Tungsten that I've used.

All these brands will catch you fish. I notice the main difference is the paint quality, price and hook quality. Some have hooks that break easier and others the hooks bend easier. It's a toss up.

Hope that helps.
