Kenders Outdoors Tungsten Akua Waxies Ice Fishing Jigs

Maximize your strike rate on stubborn, heavily pressured panfish with the Kenders Outdoors Tungsten Akua Waxie. Designed to replicate natural aquatic insect larvae and waxworms, this high-density tungsten ice jig offers a lifelike profile paired with the lightning-fast drop speed required to intercept roaming schools. While traditional lead heads flutter slowly down the water column, the compact tungsten build cuts effortlessly through slushy holes, heavy vegetation, and underwater current, presenting a crisp, ultra-clear return on your flasher or forward-facing sonar.

Each Akua Waxie is crafted with an anatomically segmented, ribbed body that displaces water and mimics the subtle wriggling texture of live bait. Pre-rigged on a premium, razor-sharp hook, it can be fished straight out of the box as a standalone realistic insect presentation or tipped with live spikes, waxies, and micro plastics to seal the deal on lock-jawed slab crappies, bull bluegills, and jumbo perch.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: When bluegills or crappies rise to inspect your bait on sonar but hover an inch away, avoid snapping or bouncing the jig. Instead, hold your rod tip completely still and gently pivot the rod blank between your thumb and index finger. This creates a subtle horizontal wiggle along the segmented body of the Waxie, mimicking a living larva suspended in the water and prompting an immediate, inhale-style bite.
