Quick take

Classic Swedish Pimple spoon designed for vertical jigging through ice, with fluttering action and sharp point.

A 2-1/4 inch Swedish Pimple jigging spoon in gold, built for ice fishing. It weighs half an ounce and carries a pimple point, so it falls fast and flashes when worked with short lifts. Anglers chasing pike and other cold-water fish can tip it with a minnow head.

Best for

  • Panfish through ice
  • Pike and musky in deeper holes
  • Night fishing with light

Skip if

  • You fish open-water only
  • You prefer jigging plastics

Strengths

  • Knife-edge point penetrates hard jaw of pike and musky
  • Fluttering action mimics minnow or nymph dropping
  • Durable copper finish resists corrosion on ice

Trade-offs

  • Specialized use limits application to ice season
  • Heavy 1/2 oz requires stout rod for jigging control
  • Point dulls from repeated contact with ice

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
