This lure in incredibly versatile and can be used in numerous techniques. My favourite use for this lure is spring and fall jigging for walleye. I actually aggressively jig this spoon and the results are phenomenal. Walleye and many other species viciously attack this lure on the fall down. Summer fishing with the Swedish Pimple can provide success as well but I change things up a little bit. I remove the treble hook and create a 12 inch lead with a 2 hook harness. This is a Lake Trout killer when trolled with a 3 inch smelt pattern Gulp minnow on a downrigger, really excellent action. My favourite time of year for the Swedish Pimple is ice fishing. This lure is my go to in the winter for jigging up trophies. I change it up in many ways that some haven't tried. It is deadly by actually fishing this lure upside down, the red tag and treble hook to the top rather than the bottom for Whitefish. Whitefish seem to strike often and harder with this techinique. Another techinique includes a small 4 inch lead plus a single hook for a more still fishing application with an aggressive jig every so often.
Make sure you stock on some of these Multi Species lures for your ice fishing outings this winter. The Swedish Pimple will always bring success!
