Compact profile for slow control
The NED-Stick has a straight, ribbed and tapered body. The compact shape is easy for fish to suck in and can be fished from an almost stationary bottom presentation to a slow swim just above the bottom.

Two sides working together
Arctic Voltage is not an all-blue jig. The laminate divides the bait into a light pearlescent side and a saturated blue glitter side. As the bait turns, the impression alternates between shiny prey fish, darker dorsal line and short blue reflexes.
Ice white mother of pearl
The bright side
Gives a bright belly impression and reflects the ambient light. The color tone is close to shiny small fish without the entire bait becoming chalky white.
Electric blue
The Glitter Page
Blue and turquoise glitter creates clear reflections when the bait falls, shakes or changes direction. Small dark flakes break up the surface.
Rigging by color: Mount the blue side up for a more pronounced dark back and light belly. Turn the laminate sideways when you want to show both color fields more during a swimming presentation.
When Arctic Voltage is the right choice
Choose the color when
- the water is clear or slightly colored
- The perch or pike-perch hunts small light fish.
- you fish along rocks, gravel, piers or deep edges
- the fish follow larger baits without taking
- you want more reflection than a neutral natural color
- cold water requires slow and compact presentation
Change color or presentation when
- the water is very dark or heavily cloudy
- the bait gives too weak a silhouette against the bottom or the water color
- the fish wants a solid black, purple or chartreuse profile
- the fish follows without taking – first change the pause, depth or speed
Four strong ways to rig the bait
The rig controls the fall speed, bottom contact and how freely the body can move. Always cast the bait straight and centered. A bent body rotates easily and loses the clean finesse profile.
1
NED rig
For rock, gravel and solid bottom. Use mushroom or NED head with exposed hook when the bottom allows.
2
Weedless DOWN / easy Texas
For vegetation, branches and messier bottom. Rig the hook tip protected but make sure the body is still completely straight.
3
Dropshot
For spot fishing, echo sounder fishing and when the bait needs to be kept above the bottom. Start with about 20–50 cm between hook and sinker.
4
Free rig / Carolina
To search larger areas with continued bottom contact. The bait follows the weight with a freer and smoother fall.
1.5–3 g Shallow, calm and slow
3.5–5 g All-round and clear bottom contact
5–7 g Deeper water, wind or current
Rule of thumb: Choose the lightest weight that still allows you to read the bottom contact. Start around hook size #2 to 1/0 and always compare the actual shank length and gap of the hook to the bait.
Fish slowly before you fish fast
1
Drag – shake – pause
Drag the bait 10–30 cm, give two or three small shakes and pause for 3–8 seconds. A good start when the fish is near the bottom.
2
Short bottom jumps
Lift just a few inches and let the bait fall on controlled line. Maintain presentation around rocks, gravel and other contact points.
3
Dead stick
Let the rig rest in place and maintain light contact with the line. Pay attention to small changes in pressure or the line moving sideways.
4
Swim and glide
Crank slowly just above the bottom and make short stops. As the bait falls and twists, the laminate shifts between pearly white and blue.
A balanced starting point
Always adjust according to weight, depth, bottom and size of the fish. For regular Swedish perch fishing, the following is a useful basic setup.
Rod Approx. 210–225 cm, light to medium-light, approx. 3–15 g
Reel Reel around size 1000–2500
Main line Thin braided line, approximately 0.08–0.12 mm
Tafs Fluorocarbon or nylon, approximately 0.20–0.28 mm
Frequently Asked Questions about Arctic Voltage
Is Arctic Voltage a natural color or a trigger color?
It falls between the categories. Pearl white provides a bright prey signal, while the electric blue glitter half provides more reflection and visibility than a pure natural color.
Does the paint work in murky water?
Yes, in lightly colored water and at shorter distances. In very dark or heavily turbid water, a solid dark or highly contrasting color often provides a clearer silhouette.
Which side should be up?
Start with the blue side up and the pearly white side down. Turn the lure sideways when you want to see both color fields more clearly while swim fishing.
What weight should I start with?
3.5–5 g is a useful all-round start. Go down in shallow, calm water. Go up when depth, wind or current require clearer contact.
Can color and finish differentiate between lures?
Yes. The beads are hand-cast in smaller batches, so minor differences in the laminate's split, glitter distribution, shade and finish may occur.
How to keep your bait in good condition
- Store them cool and upright in the original packaging.
- Avoid prolonged high heat and direct sunlight.
- Store different soft plastic materials separately as they can react with each other.
- Check the bait and rig for bottom contact or hard hits.
- Keep soft baits and hooks out of reach of children.
Limited color range
Arctic Voltage combines a bright small fish impression with electric blue glitter reflections in a compact NED profile for perch and zander.
When this color round is over, the color will disappear from the range.
The color of the product images may be reproduced slightly differently depending on the screen, lighting and photography. Choose hook, weight and tackle according to the method, fish species and prevailing conditions.
