Northland Fishing Tackle, a seasoned name in the world of panfish angling, recently announced the release of its latest innovation set to debut in the spring of 2024: the Tungsten Crappie King Fly. Known for providing anglers with effective tools for catching crappie, bluegill, and perch, Northland aims to continue its legacy of excellence by delivering a product that embodies meticulous detail and performance.
The Tungsten Crappie King Fly stands out in its category, employing a unique hair jig design that promises a natural and flowing action. “It draws in fish and strikes with no need for live bait,” said a representative from Northland. This newly engineered fly takes advantage of tungsten’s benefits, which allows for longer casts and quicker sinking through the water column, enabling anglers to reach their target species more efficiently.
One significant advantage of tungsten is its density, which is 30% greater than lead. This feature enhances the angler's ability to feel bites more effectively through the line and rod. Additionally, tungsten is a more environmentally friendly option. The Tungsten Crappie King Fly is crafted with high-performance tungsten heads complemented by hand-tied feather and tinsel tails, promising both aesthetics and functionality.
To cater to various fishing conditions, the Tungsten Crappie King Fly will come in an array of vibrant colors including Super-Glo White, Bumble Bee, Olive, Super-Glo Pinky, Bubblegum, Sunrise, Super-Glo Moonlight, and Parakeet. “You’ll always find the right color for whatever lake, river, or stream you’re fishing,” said the Northland team.
An essential element in the design is the ultra-sharp hook, which has been proportioned to suit the delicate mouths of panfish perfectly. Renowned fishing guide and expert on panfish, Brian “Bro” Brosdahl, shared his insights on how he plans to utilize the Tungsten Crappie King Fly. “I’ll start by pitching the Tungsten Crappie King Fly without a bobber, let it fall naturally, always feeling for ticks and watching my line. That first drop is important. Panfish like when it first hits the water and drops. It’s natural. So be ready,” said Brosdahl.
Experts like Brosdahl highlight the tactical advantages the Tungsten Crappie King Fly could bring to any angler. Scheduled for release in the spring of 2024, the fly is priced at an accessible MSRP of $7.99 for a pack of two. With key features that include 3D holographic red eyes, hand-tied tails, and the acclaimed Super-Glo paint on select colors, this fly is bound to be a game-changer in the quest for panfish.
Looking Ahead
As the fishing community anticipates the release of the Tungsten Crappie King Fly, it looks forward to seeing how this innovative tool enhances the fishing experience. With an eco-friendly design and high-performance attributes, Northland Tackle is poised once again to shape the future of panfish fishing, ensuring that anglers have the right gear for both fun and success on the water.
