Northland Tackle Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug Ice Jigs – Tiger Beetle (1/28 oz), 2 Pre-Rigged Heads + 3 Plastics

Overview

Meet a lifelike option designed for cold-water panfish: the Northland Tackle Rigged Tungsten Broom Bug Ice Jigs. The lure mimics a real aquatic larva, delivering a natural silhouette that can pique curiosity beneath the ice. When paired with the Tungsten Flat-Fry Jig, the Broom Bug hangs at a 90-degree angle, enhancing the illusion and potentially increasing bite signals in pressured or stained water.

Sized to the hatch, these jigs are crafted to work well in a range of winter fisheries. From clear streams to murkier bays, the combination of compact size, fast-sinking tungsten heads, and a realistic body helps anglers present a convincing forage pattern even when fish are selective.

Why anglers reach for this rig

Whether you fish full-time or enjoy weekend outings, you’ll notice several practical benefits that come directly from the design and packaging described by the product data.

• Instant setup: The kit arrives pre-rigged with two tungsten jig heads and three extra plastics, letting you start fishing right away rather than tying and rigging on the ice.
• Faster drop, sharper feel: Tungsten heads provide quicker sinking and heightened sensitivity to detect light bites from panfish such as crappie and perch.
• Realistic larva presentation: The long shank and 90-degree hang create a horizontal presentation that imitates natural larvae, helpful in tougher, neutral-water conditions.
• Color versatility: Five color options, including glow-in-the-dark and natural shades, offer flexibility across clear and stained water and varied light conditions.
• Pro-tested durability: Built and tested by professional guides and tournament anglers, designed to perform under demanding winter fishing conditions.

What’s included and how to use

The package includes two pre-rigged tungsten jig heads plus three extra ice plastics, all sized to the 1/28 oz range with additional options noted in the product data. Use the 1/28 oz heads for shallower bites or when fish are actively feeding; switch to the slightly larger 1/16 oz head for deeper or deeper-ted conditions where you want a quicker reach to the strike zone.

• Two pre-rigged jig heads: Start fishing without waiting on hardware or tying new rigs.
• Three extra plastics: Mix and match colors to match hatch or water color.

Ideal scenarios

These jigs are designed to help in pressured winter fisheries where panfish are selective. The combination of a lifelike larva profile, a precise 90-degree presentation, and fast-sinking tungsten heads supports a range of tactics from slow, tempting drops to quick impulsive retrieves. Whether you’re scanning for crappie in a shallow pond or chasing perch in stained river pockets, this rig offers a versatile option that stays true to the forage look while remaining easy to deploy.
