Joy CR 3.5 cm 4.3g slow sinking

Joy CR 3.5cm lure represents the pinnacle of chub fishing efficiency in my entire portfolio. It is the bait responsible for my most significant personal chub record and the result of years of testing on rivers and lakes. With an optimal weight of 4.3g and a slow sinking buoyancy, this compact crankbait features a highly aggressive action, making it an indispensable weapon for chub, perch, or trout fishing.

High-Frequency Vibration and Strong Turbulence: Joy is a crankbait that generates an intense action in the water. It delivers a high-frequency vibration with a moderate amplitude, complemented by a subtle rolling motion. This dynamic mix transmits powerful turbulences during its retrieve, alerting the chub’s lateral line and triggering aggressive strikes even in murky waters or low light conditions.

Long-Distance Casting and Total Vertical Versatility: Packing 4.3 grams into a 3.5 cm body, Joy acts like a true projectile. It allows for long and precise casts, quickly covering large areas of water on lakes or wide rivers.

Perfect Balance in Strong Currents: Thanks to its strategic weighting, the lure maintains an impeccable track in the fastest and most turbulent river rapids without rolling over or blowing out of the surface film.

Adaptable Slow Sinking Action: The slow sinking capability allows you to work the lure in shallow areas (near the surface) as well as explore drop-offs and deeper structures down to 1 meter through controlled pauses during the retrieve.

Joy model comes equipped with VMC X-Short X-Strong Round Treble #12 treble hooks.”

Field Test Insight: From my own tests, I have found that this specific pattern is well-suited for both clear water situations and low light conditions. Early in the morning or late in the evening, this pattern has proven its efficiency thanks to the striking contrast between its fluo colors and opaque black.
