The Original Perch Eye™ – 3/4” Ice Fishing Plastic for Panfish
The Original Perch Eye™ – Category-Creating Ice Fishing Plastic (Est. 2018)
In 2018, we created the Original Perch Eye™, a purpose-built ice fishing plastic designed specifically for tungsten jig tipping and pressured panfish situations.
Before imitators entered the market, The Original Perch Eye™ set the standard for realistic perch eye plastics used for ice fishing crappie, bluegill, perch, and trout. Today, it remains one of the most trusted and best-selling panfish plastics for hardwater anglers targeting finicky fish.
If you’re searching for the best ice fishing plastic for panfish, the Original Perch Eye™ was built for exactly that.
Why The Original Perch Eye™ Outperforms Other Ice Fishing Plastics
Ice fishing success often comes down to subtle presentation. When fish become pressured, they key in on small details — profile, scent, realism, and hold time.
The Original Perch Eye™ was engineered around those details:
• Precision 3D eye profile
• Realistic eyeball circumference
• Natural forage color patterns
• 3/4” total length including entrails
• Designed specifically for tungsten jig tipping
• Infused with proprietary RMX2 scent technology
Unlike standard soft plastics, The Original Perch Eye™ mimics one of the most natural feeding triggers in cold water — soft tissue and forage eyes. That subtle realism can make the difference between a look and a strike.
Best Ice Fishing Plastic for Tungsten Jig Tipping
Tungsten jigs have become the go-to choice for serious ice anglers. But pairing the right plastic with your tungsten jig is critical.
The Original Perch Eye™ was designed with tungsten jig tipping in mind. Its compact 3/4” finesse profile provides:
• Balanced jig action
• Natural horizontal presentation
• Increased visibility on sonar
• Improved hook-up ratio
• Extended hold time on light bites
For maximum durability, apply a small dab of super glue to your tungsten jig hook before threading on The Original Perch Eye™. This helps secure the plastic through multiple fish catches without constant re-rigging.
Target Species for The Original Perch Eye™
The Original Perch Eye™ is highly effective for:
• Crappie ice fishing
• Bluegill ice fishing
• Yellow perch
• Trout through the ice
• Other cold-water panfish species
Whether you’re fishing shallow weed flats or deep basin schools, this scented ice fishing plastic increases strike response in tough conditions.
Scented Ice Fishing Plastic with RMX2 Technology
The Original Perch Eye™ is infused with proprietary RMX2 scent technology. This slightly scented formula disperses naturally in cold water, helping attract fish and increasing hold time once they commit.
When panfish are neutral or pressured, added scent can be the difference between missed bites and landed fish.
