Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike anglers covering a lot of water. The jointed action and visible UV finishes give you a searching lure with plenty of presence.
- Anglers wanting an easy, ready-to-fish soft lure. The Replicant shape, built-in action and fitted hooks keep the set-up simple and dead handy.
Maybe skip if
- Light lure anglers. The 15cm/60g model calls for proper predator tackle, wire trace and a reel with enough backbone.
- Anglers fishing tiny streams or ultra-clear, shallow spots. The profile and UV finish can be a bit much when subtle, compact presentations are needed.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Jointed Replicant UV is a proper pike-hunting soft lure for anglers who want a realistic profile without faffing around with complicated rigging. Its jointed body gives it a lively, fish-like swim, while the UV finishes help it stand out when the water’s coloured or the light’s a bit pants.
It’s not the smallest or most subtle bait in the box, but that’s the point. This is a search lure for covering water, probing edges and tempting a bigger predator to have a chew. Pick the colour and retrieve to suit the day, and it looks bob on for pike work.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Replicant UV
The Fox Rage Replicant UV is aimed squarely at predator anglers who want a soft lure with a proper baitfish look and plenty of movement. This isn’t a tiny perch snack for flicking under your feet. It’s a lure with presence, designed to get noticed by pike while you work a swim properly.
The version covered here is the Jointed UV in 15cm and 60g. That’s a useful size for everyday pike fishing. Big enough to look like a worthwhile meal, but not so massive that you need a broomstick of a rod just to launch it. It should sit nicely in the middle of a predator box.
Its party trick is the jointed body. Rather than swimming like one stiff lump, the sections flex and follow each other through the retrieve. That gives the lure a more natural, slinky movement. Keep it moving steadily and it has that wounded-baitfish feel pike tend to find hard to ignore.
The action is especially useful when you’re covering water. Cast across a bay, along a reed edge or over a shallow flat, then work the lure back at a controlled pace. You don’t need to go mad with the rod tip. Let the lure swim, add the odd pause and keep your eyes on the line as it comes into the margins.
The UV finishes give you a decent spread of options. UV Fire Tiger is the loud, cheeky choice when the water’s coloured or the sky has gone properly grey. It gives the lure a strong outline and plenty of visibility. That can be just the ticket when a natural pattern is disappearing into the background.
On brighter or clearer days, the natural-looking colours make more sense. UV Perch, UV Natural Perch, UV Pike, UV Ghost Ayu and UV Young Perch let you tone things down without losing the UV element. Start natural if the water’s clear, then go brighter if the fish aren’t showing any interest.
At 60g, you’ll want a proper pike lure set-up. A suitable predator rod, a reliable reel, strong main line and a quality wire trace are all part of the job. Don’t treat this like a general coarse lure and clip it to whatever happens to be on the spool. Pike fishing needs the right gear from the business end to the rod butt.
The fitted high-end hooks are a welcome touch. Good hooks matter when a pike finally follows the lure all the way to the bank and gives you a screaming take. Keep them sharp, check them after snaggy retrieves and don’t be shy about replacing anything that’s taken a battering.
There is a little confusion around the Replicant UV name because Fox Rage uses it across more than one style. The Jointed UV is the flexible, segmented option discussed here. The Replicant Wobble UV is different, with a large paddle tail, deep rolling action, tougher body material and an improved belly-hook rotation system. Check the product photo before you part with your quid.
The bottom line is simple: the Jointed Replicant UV is a proper searching lure for pike anglers who like a visible, fishy profile and an easy retrieve. It won’t replace every lure in the box, but it gives you a cracking option for covering water, fishing the margins and putting a bit of confidence back into a quiet bite-time.

Our take
Big profile, big movement, easy pike appeal
The clever bit here is the combination of a recognisable Replicant shape and a jointed body. You get a baitfish silhouette, but with extra flex through the retrieve. That helps the lure look less like a lump of plastic and more like something trying not to get eaten.
The UV colours are handy when you need a lure that shows up. Fire Tiger is the loud one for murky water and low light, while Natural Perch, Perch, Pike, Ghost Ayu and Young Perch give you more natural-looking options when the fish are being picky.
The lure itself
A jointed Replicant with extra life
The Jointed UV keeps the familiar Replicant baitfish shape but adds a segmented body. That joint gives the lure extra flex and helps create a lifelike swimming action on a straight retrieve. It’s the sort of movement that does the work for you, which is handy when you’re trying to fish methodically rather than constantly twitching the rod.
The 15cm/60g version is a sensible all-round pike size. It has enough bulk to call a fish from a bit of distance, while remaining manageable for repeated casting. High-end hooks are fitted, so the lure is ready for a suitable predator set-up rather than needing a load of faff before it sees the water.
Worth knowing. Check the exact variant before ordering. Jointed UV and Wobble UV are different Replicant styles, and the range includes several sizes. The 15cm Young Perch is product code NRE293, while the 15cm Fire Tiger is NRE281 and the 15cm Ghost Ayu is NRE289.
On the bank
Built for searching pike water
This lure suits anglers fishing reservoirs, canals, gravel pits and larger stillwaters where covering water is part of the game. Cast it around reed lines, weedbeds, drop-offs and the margins. A steady retrieve with pauses is a cracking starting point, especially when fish are following but not committing.
It’s also useful as a confidence lure. Start with a natural colour in clear water, then swap to UV Fire Tiger when the light drops or the water clouds up. The 60g weight works best with proper predator tackle, a strong leader and a reliable trace. Keep the hooks sharp and use safe unhooking kit every time.
Worth knowing. Don’t overlook the margins. Pike often track a lure right to the bank before deciding, so slow the retrieve near your feet and watch the lure through the final few turns. A cheeky follow can tell you more about the swim than a blank cast into open water.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually ask
The Jointed UV isn’t just for fast retrieves. It can be fished steadily, paused over weed gaps or worked with small rod lifts. The jointed body gives it movement at sensible speeds, so you can change pace without making it look completely unnatural.
Colour choice depends on visibility. Fire Tiger is the attention-grabber for murky water and dull conditions. Perch, Pike, Ghost Ayu and Young Perch are better starting points when the water is clearer or the fish want something less shouty.
Worth knowing. The wider Replicant UV family includes the Wobble UV, which is not the same lure as the Jointed UV. Wobble UV models use a large paddle tail, create a deeper rolling action and feature an improved belly-hook rotation system.
