Interesting. You got me curious. So I weighed four TM jigheads and realized that they vary in weight. With bodies. the four I weight range from .90 gram to 1.08 gram. So I assume it is possible that some of the jigheads are even lighter than that.

.8875 grams would be exactly 1/32 oz. So the .90 gram one is about 1/32 ounce. Basically all regular TM are much closer to 1/32 than 1/64th oz. They do make a much smaller one that is rated at 1/200th ounce and I'm not including those...:)


Just adding to the data.

comparing nanobraid and gliss with the 1/200g trout magnet jig head.

I found gliss to be easier to cast and I gained some distance.
