The Mule Fishing Workhorse Jig was designed for light-line anglers who want to present small baits, such as the Donkey Tail Jr, Horse Fly, and other Mule products, in deeper water or windier conditions. This jig is created using a high-density tungsten resin material, allowing your bait to drop fast while creating a more environmentally-friendly alternative to lead jigs.
The head design is a unique, rounded-off bullet shape with a keeled bottom and concave back. This allows your chosen plastic to rest uniformly against the back of the jig and create a streamlined approach. With the bulk of the weight focused on the lower portion of the jighead, this will naturally swim through the water and skip remarkably well when shooting docks. It will also rest flat on the bottom with most baits, but with the highly buoyant Mule plastics, it will rise at a slight angle off the bottom.
Just like all Mule Fishing products, this jig was designed with multispecies in mind. The hook size is a #6, which allows any targeted fish to take it down and stay pinned.

Fished the 1/16 in chartreuse yesterday. It swam well and looked good with a zman paddletail trailer. Unfortunately, the hook snapped off right next to the baitkeeper after hooking into a 1lb channel cat. I was using a UL casting rod with 6lb copoly. Plenty of play in the rod and line. Hopefully the other two jigs in the package will last longer than a single fish. Pretty disappointing for a “Workhorse Jig,” to break off after a single small catfish.
