Slide jigging is an effective way to ice fish, especially for perch, but also for other fish in winter. It combines the efficiency of traditional vertical jigging, mormyshka, and tapping jigging into one package.
Väinö Lightweight slide jig is a versatile and effective lure for winter fishing. The core of the jig's body is made from special metal, combined with a stainless steel core wire. Around the core, there's a molded plastic body. The lightweight body floats really enticingly and attractively.
The idea of the slide jig is that it's attached to a fluorocarbon leader, and you can adjust the distance from the mormyshka by sliding it along the line. The silicone tube pieces on both sides of the body lock it in the desired position. At the end of the fluorocarbon, there's an attractive mormyshka.
Väinö Lightweight slide jigs come in three different lengths (65mm, 85mm, and 105mm) and a really wide range of colors.
Erälehden comments on Väinö lightweight slide jigs in issue 01/2024
"The Väinö lightweight slide jig combines two recent trend features into one package: the slide jigging feature and the lightweight design. On top of the metallic core, there's a generous layer of plastic, so even the 105mm version weighs only 11 grams. Despite its lightness, Väinö dives pretty nimbly and straight, but with sharp twitches, you can also make it flutter sideways. The package includes a gold mormyshka tied to a fluorocarbon tap, and the silicone tube pieces needed for attaching the jig are already threaded on the tap. It's worth trying especially for perch fishing."
