SABIKI RIGS FOR EUROPEAN WHITEFISH
Our successful whitefish sabiki rigs have proven their catchability countless times over
Whitefish can be very choosy and apart from the right fishing spot, the most important thing is the right pattern that fools the fish at the moment. The preferences of the whitefish can change very quickly and a certain nymph pattern that brought you nice catches yesterday can go empty today. That's one of the reasons why we have such a varied selection within our range of whitefish sabikis, so that you can buy the most catching model for every situation. All our sabikis have been extensively tested in different lakes in Germany, Austria and Italy. Only those models that have produced very good results on different waters are sold in our shop. Both the individual nymphs and the sabiki rig are made by professional tyers. This guarantees cleanly tied flies as well as rigs that move well and guarantee you maximum effectiveness when fishing. You can use our whitefish sabikis on both jigging rods as well as with floats.
SABIKI FOR EUROPEAN WHITEFISH
HERE YOU CAN BUY THE BEST CATCHING SABIKIS THAT HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY DEVELOPED FOR FISHING FOR EUROPEAN WHITEFISH.
Only nymphs that have been successfully tested and used in a wide variety of waters over the years are used in the composition of our sabiki. They have proven their effectiveness on the Attersee, Weissensee and Irrsee in Austria, on the Wörthsee and Ammersee in Germany, as well as on the Haidersee, Lago di Levico, Lago di Caldonazzo and Lago di Garda in Italy – and in many other whitefish lakes across the Alpine arc.
The hand tied nymphs of our sabiki imitate the different life stages of various aquatic insects, especially the larvae and pupae of chironomids. With our wide sabiki range, we cover all common colours such as black, red, brown, green and purple, as well as the most popular colour combinations.
You will find nymphs with tied heads as well as versions with glass beads or glitter effect. Different silhouettes are also available: with thorax, with ribbed bodies, as well as very slim and deliberately sparsely tied patterns.
Within our sabiki range, you will find rigs featuring nymphs of a specific tying style in different colours. With these so-called search sabiki, you can determine which colours are currently the most productive on a particular lake. Once you know which colour is currently “on”, you should switch to a sabiki fitted with nymphs all in that same colour.
CONSTRUCTION, MATERIALS AND RIG DETAILS
All sabiki rigs are hand tied, approx. 220 cm long and fitted with 5 nymphs, each spaced about 40 cm apart. The main line has a diameter of 0.20 mm, while the side arms measure 0.18 mm in diameter. The length of the side arms is approx. 3–4 cm.
We use only high-quality fishing lines. Depending on the sabiki series, either fluorocarbon or nylon line is used. The nymphs are tied – depending on the series – on gold-coloured or burnished quality hooks in sizes #12, #14 and #16 and are attached to the side arm using a loop knot. This ensures maximum freedom of movement, allowing the nymphs to move naturally and lively on the rig. In this way, they perfectly imitate the jerking and twitching movements of chironomid pupae as they rise from the lakebed towards the surface. In any case, make sure that the sabiki rig is mounted the correct way round.
RIGGING AND FISHING APPLICATION
Important: The side arms must protrude upwards so that the sabiki nymphs can move optimally. The arrangement of swivel and snap swivel makes it easy to identify the correct orientation.
The sabiki is equipped with a swivel at the top end for quick and secure attachment to the snap of your main line. At the bottom end, there is a snap swivel for easy attachment of the casting weight.
All our whitefish sabiki can be fished either rigged under a float or vertically jigged. Although they are specifically designed for whitefish, you can always experience pleasant surprise catches in waters where trout, perch and char are also present.
