last season I had the most success with cj&s slender spoon on perch. I love them and have been buying them up the past few years...as for jigs...I love the marmish maggot and wolfram jigs in a variety of colors tipped with gulp waxies

Hello friends!

I need three SKILLED perch-anglers who wants to try a spoon that is a success throughout Scandinavia right now. For example, it currently holds
the unofficial Swedish Total Weight Record for Perch in a 4 hour tournament.
It was set by our friend Anders in March of 2009 when he caught 34625 grams
(76 lbs.) in 4 hours. There are no daily limits for Perch in Sweden so
winning total weights over 30 lbs. in a 4 hour tournament are not uncommon.

 I send you for free but in return please promise to fish with it and come back to me with results. Reply here so everyone can see when all three have signed up. Then send your address to me via pm.

Oops. That's what I get for checking this thread late. That's awful kind of you Fredric. I'd say your a heck of an addition to IS. I have tried just about everything I can get my hands on. I always end up going to my Hali Sukkula. In my area it has always outpreformed everything.

  Fredric,Got to try those beautiful jigs out today!....Before I let you know the results/ Let me tell you my first impressions of the jigs...WOW! The Workmanship/ Quality of materials/& Design; ABSOLUTELY second to none!......Very impressive!......Now for the results of todays fishing:
1-Must tell you that the lake I went to in Central Maine; Does have perch / but I was targetting Crappies.
2-I would say that today was: "A SO-SO day.
3-Got to admit; Was very skeptic of those very tiny trebles.(my friend/ they made a believer out of me).....I was VERY IMPRESSED!
4-Initially started fishing the jig w/ nothing on the hooks.....Found that The fish were drawn to the lure, & it didn't take long.( know this because I fish w/FF or Flasher, always) ...... Problem was / they were Finicky. Caught several in about 3mins. Then decided to tip the hook w/Fish Eye......  LET THE GAMES BEGIN... ;)2
5-In the next 15 or 20 mins. I must have boated 20 to 30 Crappies / & a couple of yellow perch.....Here are a couple of pics.( camera battery died soon after)

  Frederic, The jigs fish very well & So I needed to see how I would do w/ my regular jigs.....Must say that on this particular day they fished equally well....Kept switching back & forth & managed to catch about 100 + Crappies in about 4 hours.....had a lot of fun & anxious to try these this Winter.....One more point :  When the fishing slows up; This is a great lure to get the fishes attention.( long rapid lifts & drops & you're back in action)......One trip is not very scientific survey but I'm not done testing!    -Lou
   Thanks again, Fredric......

Fredric was kind enough to send me two of his fine jigs to try out this ice season. He sent a ProPimple Jumbo with Xterminator Treble hook size 12 (Largest Size, Exactly the same that was used for the swedish record and a ProPimple Medium with Hell Red Chenille treble hook size 14. Didn't get to try them yet so I took some pics of the ProPimples compared to other jigs and spoons more common here in the states for a size reference. Can't wait to try them out...

Way cool Fredric  8). Can I ask though? Why some of the fish you put on the ice and some you throw in the bucket? Why do you almost break the head off the ones you put in the bucket? I'm just curious.
