VMC Tungsten Tubby is perhaps the perfect panfish ice-jig with tiny size yet super-fast drop speed.

Precision balanced 90-degree hook eye ensures a horizontal presentation. Comes two per pack in three sizes: 1/64-ounce (size 14 hook); 1/32-ounce (size 12 hook); and 1/16-ounce (size 10 hook). Offered in two natural patterns, Crappie Minnow and Mayfly. Also in six Ultra Glow patterns that last up to 15 minutes on a full light charge: Glow, Green Orange Glow, Orange Chartreuse Glow, Pink Chartreuse Glow, Glow Chartreuse and Glow Red. .

Lyman Universal Bore Guide directs and centers the cleaning rod and jag through the chamber, protecting both chamber and bore during regular cleaning. “Universal” means the new set will fit most bolt actions and also includes an adapter sleeve for the AR-15. Comes with interchangeable tips for bore sizes from .17 up to .416. Precision-machined from anodized aluminum. Thread-on nozzle prevents guide sticking in chamber, and a specially designed port makes applying solvent to an inserted cleaning patch easier and neater than trying to push in a wet patch. Works with most cleaning rods, including Lyman’s new Universal Cleaning Rod System and Jag and Brush Set. Suggested retail price $14.95. Contact: Lyman Products, Dept. FFG, 475 Smith St., Middletown, CT 06457; (800) 225-9626; lymanproducts.com
