Pimpel Virgin

[Shanghai Lilly]

Vertikalpilkar in different sizes. I prefer Silver as color for perch. Be sure to use chain between the pilk and glue hooks. Colors that I used to prefer for perch during the time that I used to ice fish, is green, yellow, orange and black. Preferably on the same hook.

120-125 mm Drill will be sufficient. The reason not to go up in diameter is that it quickly becomes a LOT harder to drill when you increase drill diameter.

And when you fish for perch, I would say. Fish in one hole for maximum 5 minutes. If you get nothing (or bad results) change hole right away.

This means that during one day you could be drilling a LOT of holes.

Nice, thanks!!

It's not always that easy...

Vertikalare or balansare... depends on what time during winter you are on the ice. The length of the chain is quite important too.


I suggest you buy a magazine and read an article on the matter (or google it?).

I'm not a virgin but far from an expert on pimpelfiske.

Every winter I read articles to freshen up my knowledge and learn something new.

I was out today for four to five hours, had about 10 perch, loads of bites, and I’m sure I would of had a lot more fish, but the pimpel hook kept getting hung up on the line, nearly every other time. Was the chain to long, or just the wrong technique? I don’t know. I used both braid and nylon, nylon worked much better but I still got hung up.

All in all a nice days fishing, I ended up beating both my brother in laws so I can’t complain!
