Where are you when it comes to fishing with Micro Tungsten jigs and micro plastics?... is it a fad?

Great article on ice panfishing in Jan-Feb 2015 issue of In-Fisherman

Don’t forget alot of these ice fishing tips are some-what applicable in the open water vertical jigging!

thanks SS these are the protos for these.gave some better more refined ones in a a few colors to my son to try out.tungsten glow bead on a #14 60 degree jig hook.wide gap very sharp.the dressing is senyo shaggy dub.its a very tiny silicone material that is super stretchy and strong,has a ton of subtle movement,ice is deteriorating here at the moment so hope we can test these this week as the temp drops.i only have the shaggy dub in yellow black and chartreuse.i think these are going to be a great open water bait too.

I gave it a quick read before I headed out. I was pretty pleased with the simple rig I used today. I also picked up a few slip floats the other day that will float a little heavier jig.

Just picked up a few packs of these on sale at one of my my favorite suppliers.... after reviewing the video im giving these a solid go on my next outing... i was wondering if any one had any prior experiences rigging etc? the wacky worm feature or presentation has got my focus.
