Northland Tungsten Mooska Jig (Discontinued)

While the Northland Hard-Rock Mooska Jig is no longer in production, it remains a "holy grail" find for ice anglers who demand precision in deep water. Known for its ultra-aggressive sink rate and petite profile, this tungsten powerhouse set the standard for targeting jumbo perch, bluegill, and crappie.

The Heavyweight Champion of Panfish Jigs

• Fast-Falling Tungsten: Crafted from high-density tungsten, the Mooska is nearly twice as heavy as lead jigs of the same size. This allows you to punch through slush-filled holes and reach the "strike zone" in deep basins instantly, before the school moves on.

• Premium Lip-Stick Hook: Built around a 60-degree Lip-Stick fine-wire hook, the Mooska was designed for maximum penetration. The fine wire is sharp enough to pin light-biting panfish even on the lightest 2lb test line.

• GraniteGlitter Finish: The Mooska featured Northland’s signature Hard-Rock color patterns, including metallic UV GraniteGlitter and "glow-in-the-dark" eyeballs that provided a critical visual trigger in the low-light environment beneath thick ice.

• Maximum Sensitivity: Because tungsten is a much harder material than lead, the Mooska transmits every bump of the bottom and every "tick" of a finicky fish directly through your rod tip.

Why Anglers Still Search for the Mooska

The Mooska was the perfect "Michigan Rig" partner—heavy enough to keep your line tight while allowing a small dropper fly or plastic to dance naturally above it. Its ability to maintain a horizontal profile while being "tiny but heavy" is a combination that few modern jigs have perfectly replicated.
