What on earth is jig fishing?
Jig fishing is a form of active casting fishing that offers limitless opportunities to develop as a fisherman. It has been practiced in Finland since the 1990s. The Finns are among the world’s best in precision jigging. The popularity of jig fishing is increasing year by year.
In jig fishing, the lure used is a jig made of silicone, resembling a worm or a fish. Fish are located using various sounding techniques. The jig is manipulated with different reeling and rod techniques to provoke the fish to strike.
Getting started in jig fishing can be done with relatively small investments and with the help of a skilled guide and a successful fishing trip, it is possible to improve rapidly.

Customer stories
A genuinely passionate guide enjoys what they do, so it positively reflects on the customer. Live fishing has interested me, and now I got to see how effective it can be in skilled hands. Plenty of fish were caught to take home, and my old modest perch record was broken. After fishing, I even got a filleting lesson. So, here the customer both enjoys and learns. Strong recommendation!!
– Joni
Three fishing buddies set out on an expedition for big fish jigging. We didn’t have high expectations other than spending a great weekend immersed in fishing. Our guide, Marko, performed exceptionally and professionally both on land and on the lake. We all caught plenty of fish, and the records of each angler were broken multiple times. I warmly recommend Marko’s services to every angler who wants to enjoy fishing and learn from a professional.
– Mikko
Despite having several fishing days together, Marko’s enthusiasm, commitment, and above all, his knowledge and skills in fishing continue to amaze me. For those interested in jig fishing and the use of electronics in fishing, there’s certainly more than enough information available. Big recommendation!
-Jaska
The trip to Lahnanen later in the fall was more challenging, and zanders remained a dream that time. However, we caught plenty of pikes and especially perch, once we found the right spot and lures. Nothing but good things to say about Marko’s guidance, expertise, and equipment. Strongly recommended!
– Jari
An awesome jig fishing trip on Lake Keitele. Target fish perch and zander, were brilliantly found with the help of an expert guide. The fishing trip is well suited for beginners like myself, as well as for more experienced fishermen. You always learn something new with the guide. Strong recommendation.
– Tuomas
I was positively surprised by the high quality of Marko’s equipment and his professional approach in guidance. We had a nice catch, and the overall trip was successful. When heading home, the catch was conveniently provided in a box as fillets
– Simo
An amazing surprise how one can catch fish with such brief guidance. The professional’s clear advice was easy to absorb.
– Niklas
On the fishing trip, I gained a lot of information about jig fishing and even caught some zander. Marko expertly guided me in cleaning the zander. The food was good. The atmosphere was relaxed and safe.
