Lucky John Chubby 4F is a small floating crankbait measuring 4 cm (1.6 in), designed for trout, perch and asp. Its compact, rounded profile and clearly noticeable action make it suitable for fishing shallow river sections, nearshore areas of lakes and water above submerged vegetation.
The lure weighs 3.5 g and runs down to approximately 1 m (3.3 ft). This allows it to be guided above shallow bottoms, rocks and submerged obstacles without using a deep-diving model.
Lucky John Chubby 4F can be retrieved steadily at a slow or moderate speed. Changes of pace and short pauses add variety to the presentation, while its floating design causes the lure to rise towards the surface when the retrieve is stopped.
Its compact size is well suited to light spinning tackle and fish feeding on small prey. The lure can be used both for carefully working individual holding spots and for actively covering longer stretches of shoreline.
Lucky John Chubby 4F is available in a wide range of natural and high-contrast colour patterns. This makes it easier to match the lure to water clarity, light conditions and the target species present in the venue.
Lucky John is best known for its wide range of spinning lures designed for perch, zander, pike, trout and other predatory fish. The range includes soft lures, wobblers, inline spinners and spoons that can be matched to different venues, fishing depths and retrieval styles.
Soft lures make up the largest part of the Lucky John range. It includes classic paddle-tail lures, slim profiles for jigging, curly-tail grubs, fork-tail lures, worms and imitations of creatures living close to the bottom. Series such as Tioga, Joco Shaker, S-Shad Tail, Makora, Kubira and Hogy Hog allow anglers to select the right action and size for rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
Lucky John wobblers include small models for trout, chub and perch, as well as larger lures designed for pike and zander. Depending on their construction, they can be retrieved steadily, worked with sharp twitches or used to explore deeper parts of the water column.
The range is complemented by inline spinners and spoons suitable for fishing in current, still waters and trout fisheries. Different sizes and profiles make it possible to choose a lure for slow presentations as well as faster searching retrieves.
Lucky John also offers a limited selection of spinning rods, which form a small addition to the brand’s extensive lure range.
The Lucky John range includes lures for light perch and trout fishing, classic jigging for zander and more powerful spinning for pike. When choosing a lure, it is worth considering the fishing depth, retrieval speed, size of the natural prey and current activity of the fish.
