Has anyone tried these jigs.? I've used them a couple of times and did ok. One a Perch came up and smacked it and the same day a nice Walleye took it also.
Alot of movement in the jig ... Take a look on youtube ..The only 2 problems are paint coming off from traveling in the sled and if your using 2 holes... It will go far enough and grab your other line.

I have a smaller version, I forget who made em. I use with spikes for perch & pans, they do ok, seem to attract more fish than they catch though. For me it's been a draw em in, drop the rod & grab another goto.

I use them a bit. Had some luck on the eyes with them earlier this year. Seemed like where I was fishing some days they wanted them and others they would come up to it and then swim off. One thing that I have found with them is that they really twist up your line, maybe a small ball bearing swivel would help with that.

Now where would a guy get those 1999/2000 vintage Fiska's jigs ?

bcons · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 01, 2011, 06:33 AM »

Yup that's the smaller version I used, forgot they were fiska though, but makes sense I've been known to have a few in the box

Top row is reserved for tungsten.

I have used the slick jig only a handfull of times with no luck. I want to get out and try it on some walleyes.

Those are nice and smaller, do they still make them?

They do but I don't believe that anyone sells them in the US. I do know a guy who might have some though

You can also check @ River Rat Bait/tackle. He had a good stash of Fiska's jigs left over from last winter and there may be some of those in there if he still has any left.

I bought those off a derelict drunk guy with chili all over his shirt. The waitress at the bar said he hadn't shut up all night and ate like the Mexican army on maneuvers. I have no idea who he was.

That was funny but wasn't it a bowl of bean soup ? Or was it supposed to be chili but looked like bean soup ?

I liked the edible bowl

I guard those Fiskas like my children.

They don't have the same stuff anymore. Some of their jigs are weight forward design so you can get a good "dive", but not a swim. Seemingly you have to bribe someone to get some.
