VMC Tungsten BugBite Jig – Glow Chartreuse 1/16 oz for Panfish, Crappie, Bluegill, Perch & Trout

Overview

The VMC Tungsten BugBite Jig is a compact ice fishing jig designed to reach the strike zone quickly and hold its position there. The 1/16 oz size and high density tungsten deliver a fast descent, helping you cover water efficiently and maintain presence where fish are most responsive.

Lifelike design that sparks bites

The lifelike bug profile features a realistic head shape with a glow finish in chartreuse. This combination mimics natural forage and remains visible in dim light, increasing its appeal to panfish, crappie, bluegill, perch, and trout. The result is a lure that looks like a vulnerable meal while staying compact enough to avoid excessive resistance in cold water.

Quality and durability you can feel

Equipped with a sharp premium VMC hook, the BugBite Jig is built for solid hooksets and reliable performance in tough winter conditions. The tungsten construction offers a durable, compact profile that travels through the water with minimal resistance, helping anglers maintain control during steady jigging.
