Cheburashka mould, for jig heads and predator jigs Kayak and LRF fishing

Cheburashka Jig  Mould – For those of you who have never heard of these they have made their way over to the UK from Eastern Europe. This is a quick and efficient system for changing hooks, lures on jig rigs.

Cheburashka Clip-On Bottom Jigs are a simple yet highly effective way to fish that will allow you to easily assemble your own hook and sinker combination for soft plastics fishing. The setup consists of a jig head that is available in various weights, and the link. The link passes through the jig head connecting the hook on one side and the line on the other. Simply attach the hook type that best suits your favourite soft plastic.

The hook types that can be used include a straight or long shank hook, wide gape worm hook, offset shank and so on.  Double hooks can also be used.  Where lure length is over 100mm, stinger hooks can also be added to the main hook.  A single hook is generally the better method though, as unhooking is easier.  In some instances rigs may require the use of a split ring if the hook has a vertical eye    This is not necessary for flat eye hooks.

Once the right combination of lure, hook type and hook size is determined simply select the desired weight of jig head and clip it on. As currents or other factors change, eg wind speed affecting casting, the rig can be tuned by simply changing the weight.

• CM161- 10 Jigheads, 3mm-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 -13mm
