Description

The Williams Ice Jig is a perennial favourite for hardwater enthusiasts. Named the "Ice Jig" it is just as effective when jigged vertically on open water. The elongated baitfish profile makes an easy and enticing target for trout, walleye and perch. Size does matter and as a rule of thumb match the size of lure to the size of your target species. The J50 is ideal for perch and whitefish, the J60 for trout, whitefish, walleye and lake trout. It also pays to experiment with larger and smaller lures on any given day or time of the year. "Match the hatch" by imitating the size of baitfish present. Tipping the odd shank of the treble with your favorite bait can entice strikes on slow days. The double limerick side hooks are offered separately to replace broken or dulled hooks on your collection of Ice Jigs.

Field Notes

Jig vertically through the ice or fish it in open water by jigging the same way. Use the J50 size for perch/whitefish and the J60 size for trout/whitefish/walleye/lake trout, then adjust lure size to match the baitfish “hatch.” On slow days, tip the odd shank of the treble with bait to trigger more strikes.

Pros

  • Works both hardwater (vertical jigging) and open-water jigging
  • Elongated baitfish profile targets trout, walleye, and perch
  • Multiple size options to match target species and baitfish

Cons

  • Requires active jigging to perform best
  • Hooking can be affected if side hooks are dull or damaged (replacement hooks sold separately)
