How many of you are using swedish pimples for perch
fishing?
Trbel hook on them?
What colors and sizes?
Do you put bait on them? What type?
How they working
-
white with a single hook and two wax worms seems to work for me
-
#3 nickle hammered with a minnow or perch eye :o
-
I use all different colors but the #3 or #4 with either half a crappie minnow or half a fathead minnow hooked through the lips................tr able hooks are the only way to go on a swedish pimple..............wi th the red flipper
-
Thanks I got 3 and 4
went silver and a brass one
Dose the red need to be at the top or on the hook
-
I usually put the flapper on the hook I however prefer the single hook sometimes even a chain like they use on the hali's I like to tip with a waxworm or 2 . If that aint working perch eye, minnow head, full minnow, or maybe just 2-4 spikes or mousies. I love pimples for perch and that is how i use them . most often number 3 i think? purple,blue, or glow red "tape" silver body with a single waxworm t-boned on the hook killer set-up.
-
I use a #2, any of the ice ones, with a treble and spike on each hook. It is my go to lure......
-
Silver and green with the flappers.
Waxworms on the single hook.
-
plain silver and a copper are my favorite tipped with a minnow head. I also fish a white and silver with green. This is definitely my go to perch jig. I have a couple set up like a hali with a 2" flouro dropper and a treble. You see Doug Stange fish it this way a lot of times.
-
anyone ever use one on a tip up and tip it with a minnow
-
they dont really work the greatest on a tip up as a swedish pimple is made for jigging.........as for the flapper most swedish pimple already come with the red flapper installed on the snap ring by the treble hook...........just leave it the way it comes they are ready to be used right out of the package............... ........
-
Silver #3 one hook with 5 spikes and an eye
-
Tebles with gulp maggots is the best.
-
I remember a guy on here who used a Swedish pimple, with the treble, with a shiner on it for his pike rig on a tip up.Sounds like good idea, might even try it.
-
For perch either hook will work but if there is a chance for bluegills, and big bluegills love the small pimples with a wax worm, use the single hook. It can be a pain getting a treble out of their small mouth. I usually change to the single hook right away if I'm after pan fish.

Silver with a dead minnow hooked through the back works best for perch for me. Jig it of bottom a few times then let it sit for a while.
-
#2 silver and blue prism or green prism with treble and minnow head. I use that for perch and crappie.
-
I have about every color of Swedish pimple,both #2 and 3's.I like the the ice ones (orange,pink,white,black and red).I use these for perch,dalmon,trout and walley.Tip the trebble with maggots,minnows,chunk of night crawler or corn.I mostly dead stick them about 6"-12" off the bottom after bouncing them a few times on the mud.

White #2 with the "ice crackle" finish on one side. Have picked off perch, pickerel, bluegill, smelt, and even the occasional rainbow or brown with it. Sometimes treble hook sometimes single. Usually tip with spikes or mousies or a small slab of smelt along with a drop or 2 of "Smelt-Rite" attractant. ;D Tight Lines!!
-
plain silver with a single hook and the red blade minnow or waxie depends on whats workin. at night the silver glow pimple works great with a minnow. just gotta hit it with a flash light every so often to get the glow back :tipup: :tipup:
-
i like the yellow one, tipped with a perch eye
-
only use em in deep water with spikes or an eyeball,,,
-
#2 white or silver, or anything that's easy to see and looks like a minnow, never noticed any change in activity between a red or yellow flapper, I use a treble hook for bigger fish and on slow days, but I'll switch over to a single hook when they're active just so I can get them off the hook and get it back down there, I normally tip the hook with a minnow first and then a grub, the grub helps keep the minnow from coming off the hook and if the fish don't like one thing on the hook, there's still something else for them to bite.
-
I wonder what the name is coming from? We have never used a spoon like that for jigging through the ice...
-
Hehehe,
But it says right here (http://www.baydenoclure.com/pimple.htm) that you guys have been using them for 100 years!!!! ???
I`m getting cornfused.....
-
Thatīs funny! Iīm sure they still work fine even if the history must be a misunderstanding.
Here is pics I posted earlier of an old swedish jig, 50 years old, and with a little bit of fantasy I guess you can see some likeness. For example: they both have treble hooks attached to it. ;D

This is what they look like nowadays:

I guess the evolution just went diffrent directions. Intresting.
-
Take the hooks off and use it as a weight with two flies above it. Deadly deep water rig for perch. Pimple acts as attracter. Just one more use. :)

More akin to false advertising... >:(
By The Way,, the lure in the link looks like an unbent Super Duper. I like the trebles you use however, are they available individually? I suck at fly tying/luremaking. :-\

I have posted a little help how to make trebles scandinavian style: http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=118461.0 (http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=118461.0)
Or you can find some of them at pro scandinavia.
All you need is double component glue and powder in diffrent colors to mix. Chenille and/or Antron yarn if you like.

#2 glow with a minnow head. perch crappie and walleye. one of my favorites !
-
what color waxies should I use? Does it even matter?... I have a #4 to try this weekend for perch
-
My go to jig by far.
Treble hook on them?
Yes
What colors and sizes?
I usually start with silver and vary from there (it depends on the day).
#2 for Perch
Do you put bait on them? What type?
I fish them naked until I catch my first Perch and then he donates one of his eyes tp the cause.
How they working?
Great.....
-
I love the Swedish and have caught Perch, Lake Trout, Smelt and other panfish on them.
I am not sure the size number, they arent huge and load up 4lb line well.
I like the plain silver with red flapper and treble, then I change it up to suit the conditions if there is no bite.
I usually tip with a spike, then if no action add one at a time until there are three.
If there is no action then I will tip with a waxy.
If still not action, use an eye if I have one.
Failing that....try something else.
-
i use a little red one with a minnow head or spikes or Moises
