When perch and zander are the target but the fish prefer smaller prey, the Kuusamo X-Pro II 5 cm Balance Jig is an outstanding choice. This updated successor to the legendary X-Pro model is a lead-free balance jig, handcrafted in Kuusamo, Finland, combining a patented swimming action, premium finish, and Kuusamo's latest Glow technology, available in selected color patterns.

Measuring 5 cm and weighing 5 g, this lure is especially effective for perch ice fishing, while also attracting zander and Arctic char. Its lighter construction provides a subtle and precise presentation when fish are cautious or feeding on smaller baitfish.

Patented Swimming Action That Triggers Even Cautious Fish

The X-Pro II features a patented asymmetrical tail fin that produces an erratic, lifelike swimming action, effectively triggering the predatory instincts of fish. Its wide body and bold silhouette are easy to spot underwater, while the carefully balanced design delivers excellent control even with lightweight ice fishing tackle.

The lure is equipped with a premium color-coated treble hook that completes its highly attractive presentation.

Aurora Glow and Borealis Glow Technology

The Glow feature is available exclusively on the Aurora Glow and Borealis Glow color patterns. Aurora Glow is an intense green luminous finish that charges in sunlight or with a UV flashlight and emits a bright glow underwater for an extended period.

Borealis Glow offers a more natural alternative. Its violet, pink, and turquoise tones create a subtle reddish-violet glow, making it an excellent choice for clear water and cautious fish.

All other color patterns feature a traditional finish without the self-luminous Glow coating.

Designed for Nordic Ice Fishing Waters

The carefully developed range of colors provides effective options for a variety of water conditions and weather situations. Its compact size makes it particularly well suited to shallow, clear waters and occasions when fish respond better to a more subtle presentation.

Also available in a larger 7.5 cm / 12 g version, specifically designed for targeting trophy perch and zander through the ice.
