Joy FT 3.5 cm 4.3g slow sinking

Joy FT 3.5 cm wobbler represents the pinnacle of chub fishing efficiency in my entire portfolio. It is the lure tied to my most important personal chub record and the result of years of testing on rivers and lakes.

With an optimal weight of 4.3 g and a slow-sinking buoyancy, this compact crankbait features an extremely aggressive action, making it an indispensable weapon for targeting chub, perch, or trout.

Technical Features and In-Water Behavior:

• 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.

Premium Hardware and Usage Recommendations:

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

From my own testing, I have found that this pattern excels in low-light conditions. Early in the morning or late in the evening, this pattern has proven its efficiency due to the high contrast between its colors. It is the top choice when chub are in a feeding frenzy, regardless of the weather or brightness.
