Clam Drop Jig – Tungsten Ice Jig with Vertical Presentation & Flat Tie Eye (1/16oz, Black/Glow Dot, Size 12)

Meet the CLAM Drop Jig, a compact tungsten ice jig designed for precise control and confident presentation under the ice or in clear water. The pencil-thin profile of the tungsten head sinks quickly, while a pivoting hook with a bulbous front and tapered back creates a natural, enticing drag as it settles. The Black/Glow Dot finish adds visibility in low light, and the flat tie eye helps deliver clean line flow for steady drops.

As part of the CLAM Tungsten Series, this jig is built to handle a range of panfish and light game. The 1/16 oz weight paired with size 12 contributes to a responsive feel on the strike and enhanced sensitivity when you’re watching line or bite indicators through the ice. The compact package minimizes snagging on structure while still delivering a convincing fall that imitates a small prey item.

Design and action

The jig combines tungsten density with a slim profile to cut through the water column efficiently. The pivoting hook enables a versatile range of motions, while the front-bulb and rear-taper balance contact with the lure’s fall path. The flat tie eye ensures clean, predictable tracking as you lift and lower the jig.
