It kept growing but not fruiting so I pinched the shoot and 2 weeks later, figlets all over.    

It's grown in a pot. the height is about 1.5 meters tall. I cut off the tip and it fruit.

Did you pinch the shoot all the way off where the figs are growing now ?

Nice move, I had mine in pot for three years without pinching and no fruit yet. Just trimmed it this season. We'll see.
How old is your tree?

Now that's how it's done! My panache doesn't have as much fresh growth as yours but it has a few figlets coming out.

I only cut off 1 shoot off the top.

nice... i have to try this

Inspired by your post, I did something similar. I pinched off some of the tips and two days later, quite a few fillets showed up! 2 out of 3 little trees have this progress, I am very happy. Thanks again!

I learned it from the forum so credit goes to the person who shared about shoot pinching.

Congratulation on your fruit.  This works on some varieties but not others.  I think I'll start a new thread for people to post what varieties this works with so I don't hijack your thread.  Please post in that as well.

Those would be brebas correct? I didn't think Panache produced brebas?

These are not brebas.

Yeah sorry lol, it's obvious they're not after seeing the pics again. My mind didn't register the existing leaves growing from the stem lol.
