Ok I have still been working on making a Tungsten head that the cost is closer to a regular head (still a little higher cost as the other ones). Here is (same weight as a 1/32 oz jig head) Fly hook with a Tungsten bead. They don't get much bigger though, but anyone liking 1/32 or 1/64 I may have the answer. I bought a digital scale to be able to check this stuff out.

I don't see why this wouldn't be very good style to long line troll.

Just need to see if anyone like this before I spend a good amount on getting these heads in colors and enough of them to stock.

Here is one to just see what it looks like...

Well spring I will uses a 1/32 Roadrunner almost 95% of the time and if not that some other 1/32 oz. jig with a marabou tail, but this is also 1/32 and I think maybe some like this in my favorite colors will work pretty well. I just need more head colors now.

Tungsten also lets you use a smaller head then lead at the same weight.
