Northland Tackle Tungsten Mud Bug - 3-4 inch, 1/16 oz - Super-Glo Purple Wonder

Overview

Be ready when panfish activity heats up under the ice. The Northland Tackle Tungsten Mud Bug delivers a compact, highly versatile jig designed for panfish that feast on copepods and nymphs in cold-water environments. Its insect-like Fathead body, paired with bulging eyes, creates a lifelike profile that draws attention in dim light and through murky water.

Engineered for ice anglers, the Tungsten Mud Bug uses a fast-sinking tungsten body that cuts through slush and drops into the strike zone quickly. The bottom-heavy design helps maintain proper presentation, while a premium needle-point hook with a 60-degree angle supports solid hookups when a fish inhales the lure.

The lure features a premium Super-Glo color system with glowing bodies and bulging eyeballs that stay bright longer. The Purple Wonder shade delivers a vivid silhouette that helps visibility and triggers bites in low-light and stained-water conditions. This combination of glow and shape is designed to catch the eye and invite a bite when panfish are focused on small prey.
