Hali. All the varieties work. But the Sukkula wounld be easiest to duplicate.

my favorite was a ronnie bird. i lost my last one. they aren't made anymore. was shapped like the do jigger without the bend and had small winges on both sides that moved. i wish i had 1 i'd send you a picture.

Swedish pimple all the way. Silver or copper depending upon water color & clarity.

I second the Swedish Pimple, that lure has yielded me more jumbo perch, walleyes, & bass than any other spoon Ive used! Nils Master Hali is good too, but the Swedish pimple has crushed for me this year!

I love Northland forage minnows and Swedish pimples. I did however try those new Custom Jigs and Spins spoons this season(slender spoons) and did very well on brown trout with them.

Oh I forgot about the forage minnow. Its smallest size works great for me.

the pimple either with a 4-6 inch dropper or with the treble
works great for me and the old man

The jigger whopper and hawger spoon have worked out pretty good for me.

Couldn't leave with out a good selection of cleos, and a couple of favorite varmints.

Back in the 80s I bought a Rapala "Jigging Pilkki". It's a dull gold metal head-down minnow imitation, with a single hook on the nose. They might be out of production; haven't seen them for sale in years, but the one I still have is very good on perch. I switch to it when the Swedish Pimple isn't working.

Hands down the greatest slaughterer of fish is the williams wabler half and half with the side hooks I might add.

Anything with a rattle.

PerchBusterSD · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 24, 2003, 02:52 PM »

I love the replies, getting ideas of what spoons i might be able to make. Right now i make the Jig a Whopper, Willow spoons and a flat slender spoon like the Varmit

PerchBusterSD · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 01, 2003, 05:17 AM »

the first mold i am going to have made is a copy of the Rapala Pillkie....if everything goes right you guys gave me some great ideas for more Thanks

Sweedish pimple.. I'll start there any time...

Northland tackle's Buckshot rattle spoon in metallic perch, and my slender spoons....

Strata spoon and Swedish Pimples. I really enjoy the results of the Stratas.

NAD42 · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 02, 2003, 03:44 PM »

Size 7 White Pearl Swedish Pimple.

Scott_Wright · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 03, 2003, 08:47 AM »

Saturday, I had a swedish pimple with dead shiners.. caught about 4 perch and a nice salmon. had a big strike and was reeling it in, when my line broke and I lost my lure. tried 4-5 other lures(spoons and such), never got another strike...

eyedoktr · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 03, 2003, 10:27 AM »

If I could only have one, it would have to be the Swedish Pimple. Silver with green prism tape. I have caught just about every type of fish using one. That being said, I could NEVER go with just one. It's harder to do than eating just one Lay's potato chip.

Swedish pimple with a perch eye..................m mm good!

nhtroutfreak · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 03, 2003, 02:06 PM »

Swedish pimple w/ rainbow colored POWER BAIT Rainbows love 'em!!!

Heybub · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 09, 2003, 07:36 PM »

Another vote for the mighty pimple. We use em for perch - they usually outfish everything. the bronze or silver on sunny days, the brighter colors for cloudy days, always tipped with a wiggler or two. Catch lots of bonus walleye with em too.

a little tip - hook one of the wigglers in the tail barely so its still alive and kickin - if it is swimming the fish seem to love it.

Kastmaster and an eye for the best early morning and late evening perch and walleye bait i have ever used! Gold 1/4 oz.
