The Northland Tungsten Smeltinator Jig Head with a 3/0 Gamakatsu 604 hook locks up smallmouth, walleyes, and spotted bass with pinpoint accuracy, especially when targeting fish in open water using forward-facing sonar. Molded from eco-friendly tungsten that’s 70% denser than lead, this jig delivers a compact profile with a fast drop rate, keeping presentations tight and controlled around suspended fish. The Smeltinator baitfish head mimics the appearance of a real minnow and maintains a true horizontal position in the water column for a natural look. A dual keeper system—wire and molded—secures soft plastics and live bait during long casts and hard hits, while the premium hook offers the strength and sharpness needed to drive clean hooksets at a distance.
