Do any of you know what the material is we can use to make jigs with now... I used to use lead but we all know about that now, supposedly there is something similar and I was wondering what it is and where I can get some. Hopefully it melts down like lead and I can make some more of my own jigs, they work great especially for the walleye.

Thanks

Proprietary tungsten blend is the only one i know of that is environmentally friendly,its the same density as lead. Can be ordered from small lure making sites i would imagine?

I read somewhere, bismuth (sp?) was being used instead of lead. Tin, as in pop cans was also suggested.
