Favorite Panfish jigs

[Mr.Seaguar]

I really like the Wolfram jigs. The hooks are what make those jigs the best. But I got a serious pucker last year paying $50 for 20 jigs. This year he didnt even have 4mm gold. I ordered the same hooks from a guy in Canada and had a guy I met on the www make me jigs with my hooks. I got 120 jigs for about $70. Then I sold half my jigs for $75. Now I definitely have my favorite jigs. Good hooks, favorite colors, free.

I wasn't discussing Marmooskas proper, as they have been around for many years. I was talking about the same-shaped wolfram jigs that are beautifully painted that you see at shops in Finland and Sweden. These are not the same Marmooskas that are made of lead.

I think the Scandinavian jigs are far superior to those I find in US shops. In fact, that is almost I ever use anymore as I stocked up big time in one of my latest trips to Sweden.

Ok, I gotcha. Reading a thread fast can make a guy miss a thing or two. I don't doubt that the Wolfram jigs from Europe are better made. I have never heard of these jigs, until reading this thread today.The only Marmooskas I have used/ heard of are the ones imported, or maybe now manufactured by, HT Ent.

I think Bradb is talking about Mormyshka jigs. Marmooska is the American version.

Quite honestly, I don't know the brand name of the jigs I'm talking about. I bought them at a shop in Östersund, Sweden and also saw them in Stockholm, and Växjö, as well as a shop in Kuopio, Finland. In each case they were in a plastic bin and there was no packaging or brand name to be seen. I will say that they look very similar to those on the You're Bobbers Down HSOforum which go by the brand "Fiskas". And a websearch found the brand on a Swedish HSOforum made by a company named Fiskas in Tungelsta somewhere near Stockholm.

Anyway, they are only the second coolest thing I've brought back from over there. The thing I love the most is the hand-made treble hooks with the colored epoxy, and this is what I catch most of my fish on. I attach them via tiny chains of different lengths from jigs (pirks) and interchange colors/sizes. I've never seen anything like that over here, and I doubt I would as I've been told they are hand-made by old men and not distributed even within Scandinavia.

Don't know if anyone knew this or not, but Gander Mountain now carries some "Your Bobber's Down" gear including the Fiskas and Wolframs. Picked a few up last night, but they were getting pretty picked over. Also grabbed some of the little atom plastics, man do they smell! Here's hoping they pay off!

I love the tungsten Wolfram jigs for fishing over deep water. They get down to the sweet zone FAST! I also love the tried and true green glow demon. I love L.A. plastics to dress my jigs, too. Ratsos are good, too.
