Cheburashka jigs
With these Cheburashka jigs you weight your flies & streamers quickly & flexibly
Tungsten Cheburashka jigs offer a highly versatile and innovative way to adjust the weight of your streamers quickly and efficiently. These practical interchangeable weights allow you to adapt your flies within seconds to different water depths, currents and fishing conditions. This means you can fish your favourite streamer patterns effectively at a wide range of depths without constantly changing the entire fly. Our Cheburashka jigs are available in many different sizes and colours, ranging from subtle natural tones to bright hotspot colours that add additional visual attraction and make your streamer even more tempting for predatory fish. All models are made from high-quality tungsten. Thanks to its extremely high density, tungsten allows for very compact yet highly effective weighting. Compared to traditional lead weights, tungsten is also considerably more environmentally friendly, harder and more durable. Cheburashka jigs therefore offer maximum flexibility for modern streamer fishing and help you perfectly adapt your flies to every situation on the water.
CHEBURASKA RIG, ALWAYS THE RIGHT WEIGHT FOR YOUR FLIES!
Cheburaska jigs made of tungsten are interchangeable weights that you can attach to the eyelet of your streamer. The great advantage of these jigs is that they can be quickly exchanged, so that you can change the weight of your predator fly in seconds and adapt it to the current conditions on the water.
To do this, simply pull the steel clip out of the Cheburashka ball and thread your streamer through the eyelet so that it hangs on the bulbous side of the clip. Then put the clip back into the Cheburashka jig until the narrow side at the other end is sticking out and attach your leader or snap or carabiner swivel to it.
The assembly is much easier than it sounds, as you can see in this video:
The compact weight of the tungsten Cheburashka jig allows you to reach the bottom quickly and reliably. That's why we recommend rigging your flies and streamers with the hook pointing upwards. This way you can significantly reduce the risk of snagging and thus material loss. Just make sure that the hook tip of your predator fly is pointing in the same direction as the belly of the clip when you rig it on the clip.
Cheburashkas are ideal for fishing both weighted and unweighted flies. As they are very quick and easy to rig and replace, you can always adjust the weight of your streamer to suit the actual conditions on the water. In fast currents and deep pools, you simply increase the weight, while in shallower stretches you reduce it. This way you don't need to tie a variety of different pre-weighted models of your favourite streamers, because you can always choose the right weight on the water.
We offer the practical Cheburashkas not only in many different weights but also in different colours. So you can match the colour of the jig to your streamer or choose a contrasting colour for even more appeal and create a visual hotspot.
Our Cheburashka jigs are robust and can easily withstand strong fish.
Our Cheburashkas are made of tungsten and are therefore slightly more expensive than comparable products made of lead, but at the same time less harmful to the environment. For this reason, the use of lead products in angling will be rigorously restricted in the foreseeable future. However, with our Tungsten Cheburashka jigs you are on the safe side.
