There is no doubt that tungsten jigs have become the rage on ice in recent years. Having a density greater than that of lead, there are some real advantages to using tungsten jigs.
But, does that mean you should toss all those old lead jigs?
My reply would be “not so fast”. Depending on the situation, those lead jigs and even old “tear drops” might still be the best tool for the job!
