86%Fox Rage
Spikey Shad range; size and colour not specified
Soft, spiky and built to keep moving on a slow retrieve. The Spikey Shad gives perch and zander anglers a textured alternative to the usual smooth-bodied paddle tail.
85%Abu Garcia
Floating range; 11 cm / 26 g version referenced
An adjustable lip gives this floating wobbler its party trick: you can explore different depths without swapping plugs. Proper handy for searching a swim, though it still pays to learn what each setting does.
85%Fulling Mill
Orange · Hook size 10 · Sold individually
A size 10 orange attractor for stillwater trout, happy being left almost alone on a slow-glass line or pulled quickly on a sinker. Simple stuff, but depth and pace still matter.
85%Savage Gear
Lure Specialist Bag
Divided storage, included tackle boxes and reinforced carrying points make this a handy home for a varied lure kit. Just don’t confuse loads of organisation with travelling light.
85%Savage Gear
17cm / 50g and 25cm / 109g slow-sinking versions
A slow-sinking eel imitation with a hard body, soft-tail appeal and two distinctly different tackle demands. Pick the right size and it’s a handy option for working likely pike water without rushing the retrieve.
85%Fox Rage
Jointed range; size, weight and finish vary
A jointed shad with serious presence, several weight options and a chin loop for adding ballast. Just make sure your lure outfit is up to the job.
85%Westin
ShadTeez Slim range, 7.5–14cm
A slim-bodied paddle-tail for freshwater predator fishing, with sizes that cover light perch work through to a bigger mouthful for zander and pike. Straightforward kit — but getting the rigging right matters.
85%Fox Rage
Ultra UV Micro Grub · 4cm · 8-pack
A 4cm soft grub with a curly tail and UV-reactive colours. A handy little option for picking apart perch swims with light tackle, rather than chucking big lures and hoping for the best.
85%Daiwa
Range overview covering five two-piece models
A dedicated bass lure range with posh blank construction, Fuji fittings and five quite different casting brackets. The clever bit is matching one to the lures you actually chuck.
84%Fox Rage
Range overview · 14 cm and 18 cm options
A loose-body soft shad for predator anglers who want to choose their own rigging. The 14 cm and 18 cm options lean towards pike and zander rather than everyday perch fishing.
83%Savage Gear
Large 24L and XL 50L · Black
Waterproof EVA construction, a lure-holder rail and two generous sizes make this a handy base for predator kit. Just don't buy the biggest one unless you really need the room.
83%Fulling Mill
Hackled dry fly · Product code 610 · Sizes 14 and 16
This is the hackled dry-fly version, mate — not the familiar nymph. A handy little option for trout taking insects off the top on lakes and rivers.
