The Fiskas N57R-15 is a tungsten “Wolfram” ice jig from Your Bobbers Down’s matte/hand-painted series, built on a compact panfish-sized body that fishes heavy for its size for fast drop speed and superior sensitivity. Its tungsten construction lets you use a small profile while still punching quickly down to marked fish and holding vertical in deeper water or light current, ideal for bluegill, crappie, and perch.
The N57R series is designed to hang at roughly a 45° angle, giving your bait or plastic a natural, horizontal presentation with subtle rocking action on light rod movements. The “15” color code denotes a specific, high-contrast fish-catching pattern in the N57R lineup (often a matte or detailed multi-color finish) that stands out in typical ice-fishing conditions, from stained to moderately clear water.
Rig it with spikes, waxworms, or small finesse plastics on light line to detect up-bites and pressure bites, especially when fish are pressured or finicky. General sizing in this series covers the classic panfish range (3–5 mm heads), matching common use cases from shallow bluegill beds to deeper basin crappies and perch.
