Wiggler Gummi Makk 10/0 Rigged

Wiggler Gummi Makk 10/0 – Heavy-Duty Nordic Predator Rig

Originating from Sweden, the genuine Wiggler Gummi Makk is widely recognized as the gold standard for deep-water boat fishing. This deceptively simple yet ultra-effective sandeel imitation has been a staple tool for Nordic commercial fishermen for decades, proving itself as a devastatingly effective lure for targeting monster Cod, Halibut, Ling, and Coalfish.

Constructed to withstand the brutal environment of deep-sea angling, this pre-tied 3-hook trace features three authentic extra-tough Gummi Makks spaced as droppers. Each lure is armed with an incredibly strong, heavy-gauge size 10/0 hook that is connected to the line via an integrated swivel directly on the eye. This swivel connection allows the rubber sleeve to rotate freely, preventing furious, twisting fish from gaining leverage and throwing the hook. Tied onto industrial-strength, high-breaking-strain monofilament, this rig is purpose-built to handle multiple hookups of double-figure deep-sea predators simultaneously.

Where to Use the Wiggler Gummi Makk Rig

• Norway & Iceland Deep-Sea Expeditions: The absolute number-one choice for anglers traveling to Scandinavia. This rig is the definitive setup for targeting specimen “Skrei” (giant winter cod) and hard-fighting offshore Halibut.

• Deep Wrecking & Reef Fishing: Perfect for deep-water boat marks across the UK, especially over massive shipwrecks and high-relief rocky ground where large cod, pollack, and ling congregate.

• Heavy Tide Conditions: The streamlined profile of the Gummi Makk cuts through brutal tidal currents effortlessly, letting you get your gear down into the strike zone with less lead than bulky soft plastics require.

How to Fish the Gummi Makk Rig

• The Traditional Dropper Setup: Attach the top of the Wiggler trace to your braided mainline braid. At the bottom of the trace, attach a heavy, unhooked pirk ($300\text{g} – 500\text{g}$) or a heavily weighted lead block. Drop the gear to the seabed and work it with long, slow, rhythmic lifts of the rod tip. The pirking motion causes the three Gummi Makks above it to dart and pulse through the water column like a small shoal of sandeels trying to escape.

• Tipped with Bait: For deep-hole fishing or targeting scent-reliant species like heavy Ling, try tipping the massive 10/0 hooks with a thick flapper of fresh mackerel or a substantial strip of squid.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

When fishing in deep northern waters or over dark wrecks, your choice of color can make or break your day. The Red Glow option is a legendary cod killer, as red is the first color to disappear in the water column, turning into a subtle, lifelike silhouette that deep-dwelling fish mistake for their natural prey.

However, if you are dropping down past 80 meters or fishing in overcast, discolored water, switch straight to the Green Glow or Luminous models. Hit the lures with a high-powered UV torch before casting over the side. The intense, long-lasting glow guides visual hunters straight to your hooks in the pitch black of the ocean floor. When a big cod hits, keep a steady winding rhythm—the 10/0 hooks are designed to drive deep into the fish’s jaw under the sheer pressure of the boat’s movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a swivel attached directly to the hook eye?

Large deep-sea fish like cod and coalfish twist and spin violently when being reeled up from deep water. A standard fixed hook gives the fish leverage to twist the line, wrap themselves up, or tear the hook free. The integrated swivel allows the Gummi Makk to spin 360° completely independently of the rig line, eliminating line twist and keeping the hook firmly locked in place.

Can my rod handle three 10/0 hooks loaded with fish?

This rig is designed for heavy-duty boat fishing. We highly recommend using a dedicated 30lb to 50lb class boat rod paired with a high-capacity multiplier reel. Hooking two or three large deep-sea fish at once creates immense weight and pressure, so heavy gear is required to pump them up from the depths.

Are these the original Swedish Gummi Makks?

Yes. These are the authentic, original extra-tough Gummi Makks from Wiggler, manufactured to the exact high standards required by Scandinavian commercial fishermen. They feature much tougher rubber sleeves and significantly stronger hooks than cheap imitations.

How do I recharge the glow-in-the-dark properties?

The glow components absorb ambient light. You can charge them by holding them under a boat deck light or a standard headlamp. For the absolute brightest and longest-lasting illumination in deep water, we recommend charging them with a dedicated UV torch for 10–15 seconds before every drop.
