Jig fishing

Jig fishing is an extremely versatile and effective fishing method for perch, zander, and pike.

When fishing for perch or zander with a jig, you need a light, resilient rod that can cast far with light lures. At the same time, you should feel the slightest nibble and be able to hook quickly. Jig rods are developed and optimized for jig fishing primarily for perch but can obviously be used for all lighter spin fishing. Jig rods are usually 7-8 feet long and are available for both spinning and baitcasting reels.
If it's about jig fishing for pike, a normal pike rod usually works perfectly.

Jig head size

What size jig head with hook should I use?

Here’s a simple guide for those wondering which jig heads with hooks fit which jig lengths. What determines the jig head to use is the hook size, as it decides where on the jig body the hook exits. Then you can choose different weights for the jig head depending on how deep you want the jig to go, or shapes that suit different fishing methods better.

There are also other types of jig heads without hooks, called 'Screw-In-Heads,' often used in pike fishing, where the smallest sizes fit jigs from about 13-14 cm and up.

Hook size	Jig length
1/0	approx. 3 to 5 cm
2/0	approx. 4 to 6 cm
3/0	approx. 6 to 7 cm
4/0	approx. 8 to 9 cm
5/0	approx. 9 to 11 cm
6/0	approx. 11 to 14 cm
7/0	approx. 12 to 14 cm
8/0	approx. 14 to 18 cm
10/0	approx. 18 to 24 cm
12/0	approx. 25 to 30 cm
