Lightweight Balance Jig X-Pro 50 mm

The familiar X-Pro balance jig is now available in a lightweight version! Inside the light shell is a smartly placed body weight, which makes the jig behave unusually enticingly in the water.

With a quick rod snap, the jig darts upward in the water column, then flips briefly belly-up while gliding sideways. At the end of the drop, it straightens back to its natural position. Thanks to the reduced weight, the jig’s movements are slower and the so-called swimming pause is much longer than with a traditional balance jig. This gives fish plenty of time to observe its action and get provoked into striking.

The lightweight model also features the familiar X-Pro off-center tail fin, which makes the jig sway its sides while swimming. The lightweight balance jig works for perch, zander, and pike. Very encouraging feedback has come from the Porvoonjoki river, where test anglers have successfully ice-fished for zander with it.
