Fat IKA?

[bigmountaineer]

I was just needing some help on fishing these. I know how to rig them backwards with the skirt up, but what fishing situations are ideal. What do these excel in?

I fish a  lot of ponds and small lakes, hopefully these will do good in those.

Any help is appreciated.

Fish the Fat Ika as an alternative to the Senko in exactly

the same places: relatively shallow water (<12'); in and

around cover or structure; anywhere you think bass might live.

Along weedlines, flooded timber, parallel to shore.

Fish them like a jig. No weight.

No weight.

But they also work with a 1/8oz. weight. Rigged backwards or normal. I also use them as jig trailer.

nice fish....

I also prefer 1/16 or 1/8 oz.. bullet sinker..

Ah we all know how much I love Fat Ikas.  ;D

agreed 100% with RW!

i have success as well with them pegged on a t-rig to flip heavy cover b/c of the thick body and fall rate.

So far in my part of the country I have had little luck with them.  A senko or tube seem to work better in a situation where I would use an Ika-  they are re-located to my river bag- up here in the river they always bite no matter what the bait is.
