J Crank FT 10.5cm 31g. Floating

J Crank FT (10.5 cm, ~31 g) is a jointed, hybrid shallow runner wake bait. It is designed specifically for topwater fishing. For me, it represents a prime option for catfish fishing on warm summer evenings.

I also use this lure with success for pike fishing in any season. Being a topwater lure, it is extremely easy to fish in shallow water. It is ideal in areas with heavy vegetation growing close to the surface film.

The FT (FireTiger) pattern is a spectacular, handcrafted reinterpretation of the successful classic. The black stripes are stylized after those of famous bass crawler lures. On the back of the lure, I applied a unique crackle effect. Through the black cracks, you can see the underlaid fluo green pulsing subtly. The fluo yellow flanks and orange belly are finished with fine splatters of black and fluo orange. This pattern becomes an irresistible target in low light, murky waters, or night fishing.

Major Advantages for Anglers and Technical Benefits:

• Guaranteed Chromatic Attack Point (Target Point): The jointed body is composed of two asymmetric sections. The first massive segment represents 85% of the length. The thin 3 cm tail is finished in striking fluo orange. This strong color contrast directs predator attacks straight to the moving tail. Thus, the hook-up rate increases considerably.

• Dual-Action Vibration Detected from Afar: The lure combines a sinuous “S” motion with a pronounced “X” action. This mixed evolution generates powerful shockwaves in the surface film. The high-amplitude vibration transmits directly into the rod blank. It activates the lateral line of catfish and pike, even in moments of complete apathy.

• Maximum Wear Resistance (Resin Shield): The body is built of hard technical foam that never absorbs water. It is protected by durable base coats and a final hard resin finish. This solid armor protects the FT design from the sharp teeth of pike or the strong jaws of catfish.

• Premium Heavy-Duty Hardware: J Crank FT comes equipped and ready for attack. It features two ultra-strong VMC 2X Strong No. 2 treble hooks. They offer full security during violent drills with record fish in snaggy areas.

Versatility Without Borders: Pike, Catfish, and Bass

J Crank has all the attributes of an elite lure for black bass fishing on the lakes of Europe. The heavy wake left on the water and its deep vibration are the key stimuli a large-sized bass looks for in a topwater lure.
