Gloog Nike – Floating Minnow Lures
Price from 6.47 € View productsSlim-profile lures for zander, asp and pike, for day and night fishing
Gloog Nike is a series of floating minnow lures with a slim, elongated body, designed for targeting zander, asp, pike and catfish. Their profile resembles a small baitfish, particularly a bleak, while their distinctive swimming action provides a natural presentation in areas where predators hunt shoals of small fish. Thanks to their subtle movement, Nike lures are particularly interesting when fishing for cautious predators in shallow rivers, around rocky banks and along the margins of lakes. The range includes three floating models: 80F, 100F and 100NF, which differ in length, weight and diving depth. This variety allows anglers to select a lure suited to different fishing conditions and predator holding areas.
The characteristic feature of Gloog Nike lures is their subtle tail action, combined with gentle side-to-side movement and a slight body roll that produces natural flashes. This swimming action results from the elongated body shape and an almost vertically positioned diving lip.

Gloog Nike is a series of floating minnow lures with a slim, elongated body, designed for targeting zander, asp, pike and catfish. Their profile resembles a small baitfish, particularly a bleak, while their distinctive swimming action provides a natural presentation in areas where predators hunt shoals of small fish. Thanks to their subtle movement, Nike lures are particularly interesting when fishing for cautious predators in shallow rivers, around rocky banks and along the margins of lakes. The range includes three floating models: 80F, 100F and 100NF, which differ in length, weight and diving depth. This variety allows anglers to select a lure suited to different fishing conditions and predator holding areas.
The characteristic feature of Gloog Nike lures is their subtle tail action, combined with gentle side-to-side movement and a slight body roll that produces natural flashes. This swimming action results from the elongated body shape and an almost vertically positioned diving lip. Unlike crankbaits with a strong, aggressive wobble, the Nike imitates a small fish swimming calmly through the water, making it particularly suitable for slow, steady retrieves. During night fishing, maintaining a low retrieve speed can be especially important, as predators often move into shallow water to feed on baitfish. Short pauses can also be introduced to vary the presentation. When targeting actively feeding asp or perch hunting near the surface, increasing the retrieve speed may be beneficial.
Gloog Nike 80F is a floating minnow lure measuring 8 cm (3.15 in) and weighing 5 g. Its stated diving depth is approximately 0.8 m (2.6 ft) during a standard retrieve and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) when trolling. This slender model is particularly useful for targeting zander, asp and pike feeding in shallow river sections. It can be worked around rocky shallows, riffles, stone-lined banks and areas where predators hunt small baitfish. The 80F is suitable for both daytime and night fishing. In lakes, it is an interesting option for pike holding near emerging aquatic vegetation, reed beds and shallow flats. Its relatively shallow running depth allows the lure to be retrieved above submerged vegetation and through the upper layers of the water, reducing the risk of snagging.
Gloog Nike 100F is a larger floating minnow lure measuring 10 cm (3.94 in) and weighing 9 g. Its stated diving depth is approximately 1.2 m (3.9 ft) during a standard retrieve and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) when trolling. The elongated baitfish profile makes this model particularly interesting when predators are feeding on bleak and other small fish. The Nike 100F is suitable for targeting pike in lakes, especially early in the morning and late in the evening when fish often move into the upper water layers in search of food. In rivers, it can be retrieved along rocky banks, sandbars, slower sections of the current and shallow bays. It is also a practical choice for night fishing for zander, asp and catfish in larger rivers, where predators frequently hunt close to the bank.
Gloog Nike 100NF is the deeper-diving version of the 10 cm (3.94 in) floating minnow lure, weighing 9 g. It reaches a stated diving depth of approximately 2 m (6.6 ft) during a standard retrieve, while trolling allows it to work at depths of around 3 m (9.8 ft). This model enables anglers to explore deeper holding areas than the Nike 100F while retaining the distinctive slender body profile of the series. It is designed for targeting zander, pike, asp and catfish in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. The 100NF can be used to cover deeper sections of river channels, underwater slopes and areas immediately beyond shallow flats. Its floating construction allows the lure to rise towards the surface when the retrieve is paused, helping anglers control its presentation around submerged obstacles and changes in bottom structure.
One of the most interesting applications of Gloog Nike lures is night fishing for zander in large rivers. After dark, zander often move close to the banks, taking advantage of shallow areas to hunt bleak and other small baitfish. Productive areas can include rocky banks, shallow margins, current breaks and locations where baitfish gather. Long casts are not always necessary, as carefully covering the water close to the bank can be more important than fishing at maximum distance. A slow, steady retrieve allows the lure to imitate a small fish moving naturally through the water. By choosing the appropriate running depth, anglers can keep the lure within the feeding zone of predatory fish. The subtle action of the Nike series makes it particularly suitable for this controlled style of presentation.
Gloog Nike floating lures combine a slim baitfish profile with subtle swimming action and the ability to fish at different depths. The 80F is particularly suitable for shallow river sections and nearshore feeding areas. The larger 100F offers a more substantial baitfish imitation for pike, zander and asp feeding in the upper water layers, while the deeper-running 100NF allows anglers to explore holding areas further below the surface. All three models are floating, meaning they rise towards the surface when the retrieve is stopped. A selection of colour patterns makes it possible to choose a lure according to water clarity and light conditions. Developed by the Polish brand Gloog, the Nike series is an interesting choice for spinning anglers looking for natural-looking minnow lures with a restrained action, particularly for targeting zander, asp and pike in rivers and lakes.
Gloog
Made in Poland. The Gloog Company was registered on December 7th in 2001. Since then hand-made prototypes of wobblers began to change and assume the present shapes and colours. A stage of implementation of ideas and refinement of the production technology started. We devised many technical solutions by ourselves, some others we transformed in accordance with our needs. The first batch of wobblers reached our anglers friends, who tried them out in different water basins. Having collected all the data and having made some corrections, the first branded baits called GLOOG were put up for sale at the end of August 2002. Since that time we have been constantly working on improvements of the quality of our products as well as on new models. Taking our customers’ satisfaction into consideration, we are not in a hurry. Every product before appearing in shops undergoes numerous controls. We make every effort so as our wobblers could meet expectations of the most demanding spinning anglers. Furthermore, being anglers by ourselves and today as producers of fishing lures we are always motivated by one thought – we wish we could accompany you in your marvelous fishing adventure.
