Balzer Shirasu Clip Jig

Balzer's Shirasu is a sinker for the Cheburashka Rig. The Cheburashka rigging consists of a particular sinker, an offset hook and a soft silicone bait like Tube, Worm, or Shad. The sinker is in the shape of a sphere and has a snap, which opens up, but then locks again inside the sinker, after passing through the eyelet the Offset hook ring.

This rigging is widely used in freshwater fishing throughout Central Europe and the USA, targeting the Largemouth Bass, Perch, Pikes. This way of rigging soft baits however, is gradually gaining ground in the Mediterranean, mainly when fishing the Mediterranean Sea bass in shallow waters, during the Spring and Summer season, where the fish have specific eating habits.

The Cheburashka rigging gives our silicone bait a very free and natural movement and as a result it reproduces the natural movement of an injured baitfish that Sea Bass is feeding on, during the summer period.

It is very easy to set up and use the Cheburashka rig, as all we have to do is choose the right silicone lure, rig it on the Offset hook, then pass the Offset hook’s eye through the stainless steel snap and secure it again inside the Shirasu sinker. The rigging is ready to go.

The Balzer Shirasu Clip jigs are available in a mixed pack of four weights, so you can choose the SET that best suits your fishing in relevance to the desired depth, weather conditions and Casting Weight of your rod. The sizes are: 5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30 gr.

The Cheburashka rigging requires a weightless Offset hook, or Drop Shot. For example you can combine the Balzer Shirasu Clip Jigs with:

• Owner Twist Lock Offset
• Quantum 4street Offset
• Quantum Drop Shot Offset

Cheburashka rigging will make a difference in our fishing, when we have tried everything else and the fish continue to be indifferent to our bait, therefore the Balzer's Shirasu should not be missing from any tackle box of silicone baits.
