[Recommended tungsten jigs] Tail Walk Two NEW models

Series addition to the highly successful YUMM JIG!

Tungsten material has a heavier specific gravity than lead. Therefore, when used in metal jigs, the silhouette can be made smaller even with the same weight, and the smaller and heavier material offers less resistance in the water and can be expected to sink more quickly. Because tungsten is more expensive than lead, more difficult to process, and more difficult to obtain than lead, many manufacturers use lead to make jigs, but the performance unique to tungsten is still attractive. Tail Walk, which knows the advantages of tungsten, will introduce two tungsten jigs in March and April 2025. They are the YUMMY JIG TG SLENDER and the YUMMY JIG TG TACHIUO.

Tail Walk has so far released two tungsten jigs, the 【YUMMY JIG TG】 and 【YUMMY JIG TG TAI GAME TUNED】. The first model, [YUMMY JIG TG], was developed based on the concept of “I want a jig that anyone can easily catch fish! The model was developed based on the concept of “I want a jig that anyone can easily catch fish! The jig has a compact body made of high specific gravity tungsten to attract bites, and to further improve its attracting performance, a very small Willow blade (30, 45, 60g) and a very small Colorado blade (80, 100g) are mounted on the rear hook, providing performance that can respond to a variety of actions.

Then, the YUMMY JIG TG TAI GAME TUNED was released later. This model maintains the basic performance of the YUMMY JIG TG, but has a gold body color, which is effective for catching bigeye tuna, and a glow on the abdomen. This model has been tuned to trigger more bites from sea bream. The new tungsten jig is a derivative model of the existing YUMMY JIG TG.

The first model in the YUMMY JIG TG series with a small blade. Developed based on the concept of easily catching a variety of fish. With a blade, it is also very effective for targeting Spanish mackerel.

Slender [YUMMY JIG TG] SLENDER

First, the YUMMY JIG TG slender model was added in March 2025. This design replaces the compactness of the tungsten material with a slender body. This model was developed based on the concept of a “tungsten jig that can be moved to catch fish,” rather than the conventional model’s ultra-small blades that attract fish. The tungsten specific gravity of 18.15 is ultra-high, yet its characteristic form produces a wobbling action when simply reeling in and a quick response when jerking, while the center of gravity set closer to the front produces a quick and fine movement that is not too strong. When the jerk is stopped, the lure will shimmy and fall, acting like a weakened bait, leading the target to prey on the lure. The lure’s thin body design is designed with a strong emphasis on match-the-bait action. A total of nine colors are available, including the five colors that are standard on the SLJ, plus the baitfish colors blue pink and purple sardine in a kei-mura finish. The lineup also includes matte colors that are effective for bottom-fishing crustacean predators.

The silhouette is slimmer and more like a small bait. The center of gravity is set slightly closer to the front and center.

The bait falls with a dizzying motion to produce the appearance of weak small fish. This movement is the time for predation.

[YUMMY JIG TG] model for TACHIUO

And now YUMMY JIG TG TACHIUO has been added to the lineup. In Tokyo Bay and other areas, there are situations in which anglers are targeting Hachioji fish that prey on small baits. In such situations, a small tungsten jig is often advantageous. The tight action of the YUMMY JIG TG with the blade removed was found to be effective for tachiuo fish feeding on small baits that do not like violent movements, so the color lineup was reorganized and the YUMMY JIG TG TAI GAME TUNED was introduced. The new YUMMY JIG TG TAI GAME TUNED has been used not only as a basic one-pitch lure, but also as a short pitch lure, followed by a tension fall to lure the fish to bite. The lineup includes 10 colors that have been proven to work well for hairtail.

The center of gravity is more centered than the front. The lure vibrates slightly on the fall while maintaining a horizontal posture. The lure maintains a posture that makes it easy for fish to prey on the lure.

The coating has been reinforced from the original model to prevent the paint from peeling off due to the sharp teeth of the fish.

Both YUMMY JIG TG SLENDER and YUMMY JIG TG TACHIUO are sure to be recommended models for SLJ and Tachiuo-jigging in the coming season. We hope you will try them out in the field.
