Norway is a renowned destination for fishing enthusiasts from all over the world, thanks to its abundance of fish wealth in the challenging waters of the Norwegian coastline. Norway is famous for Cod and Halibut, which are a staple of the Norwegian fishing industry. Fishing for Cod and Halibut can be a challenge, especially for beginners, but using the right jig and pirk can make all the difference. Here are the different types of jigs and pirks that are commonly used in Norway for targeting Cod and Halibut:

1. Butterfly Jigs

Butterfly jigs are a popular type of jig used for Cod fishing in Norway. These jigs are symmetrical, with a flat, disc-like body, and a small head. Butterfly jigs are available in various sizes and weights, with the larger sizes being suitable for deep sea fishing.

Butterfly jigs imitate the movement of a baitfish and are intended to be fished vertically, which makes them ideal for deep sea fishing. When used correctly, Butterfly jigs can entice even the most lethargic Cod and Halibut into biting.

2. Pirk

Pirks are one of the most famous lures in Norway and are synonymous with Cod and Halibut fishing. Pirks are weighted metallic lures that come in different shapes and sizes. Pirks are most effective when they resemble the prey that Cod and Halibut are feeding on.

Pirks should be cast into the water and allowed to sink to the desired depth before being jigged up and down in slow and steady movements. The flash and vibration produced by the metallic surface attracts Cod and Halibut, particularly during cloudy or murky conditions.

3. Jig heads with Soft Plastic Tails

Jig heads with soft plastic tails are another popular type of jig used for Cod and Halibut fishing in Norway. These jigs consist of a weighted head and a soft plastic tail that mimics a baitfish. Jig heads with soft plastic tails are available in different weights and sizes, with the bigger sizes being more effective for deep sea fishing.

Jig heads with soft plastic tails are versatile lures that can be fished at different depths, from surface fishing to deep sea fishing. The soft plastic tail provides the lure with a realistic action that can attract Cod and Halibut to bite.

4. Vertical Jigs

Vertical jigs are a type of jig that is specifically designed for deep sea fishing. They are available in various shapes and sizes, with the bigger sizes being more effective for deep-water fishing.

Vertical jigs are designed to sink quickly, and anglers use a vertical jigging motion to create a realistic baitfish movement. Vertical jigging is one of the most effective forms of deep sea fishing for Cod and Halibut in Norway.

5. Bucktail Jigs

Bucktail jigs are another type of jig that is commonly used for Cod and Halibut fishing in Norway. Bucktail jigs are made up of a lead head that is dressed with bucktail hair. The bucktail hair creates a realistic, lifelike movement that can attract Cod and Halibut to bite.

Bucktail jigs are available in different weights and sizes, with the bigger sizes being more effective for deep sea fishing. These jigs are cast into the water, and a jigging motion is used to create a realistic movement that can attract Cod and Halibut to bite.

In conclusion, there are different types of jigs and pirks that are commonly used for Cod and Halibut fishing in Norway. Whether fishing in deep or shallow waters, these jigs and pirks can help lure in these prized fish species. Before choosing a jig or pirk, it is essential to consider the water depth, type of prey, and the fish species you are targeting. Additionally, understanding the jigging technique is critical in making the most out of the jig or pirk when fishing for Cod and Halibut in Norway.
