Lucky John Haira Tiny Plus One is a series of compact floating crankbaits designed for chub, trout, perch and asp fishing. The rounded body is combined with a longer diving lip, allowing the small lure to reach approximately 1 m and work noticeably deeper than the Haira Tiny Shallow Pilot.
The series includes two sizes. The smaller Haira Tiny Plus One 33LBF measures 3.3 cm and weighs 4 g, while the larger Haira Tiny Plus One 44LBF measures 4.4 cm and weighs 8 g. Both versions are floating and reach a running depth of up to approximately 1 m.
Haira Tiny Plus One produces a pronounced, regular action and responds well to changes in retrieve speed. It can be fished with a steady retrieve adjusted to the current and the activity of the fish, or worked with faster sections followed by short pauses. Strikes often occur when the lure stops and begins to rise.
Its floating design allows the crankbait to move gradually towards the surface when the retrieve is paused. This helps guide it around rocks, submerged vegetation and other underwater obstacles, while also providing precise control over its running depth during a stop-and-go presentation.
The OSS – Outside Stabilizer System supports the lure’s vibration during the retrieve and improves the casting performance of its compact body. This is useful when placing the crankbait close to the opposite bank, beneath overhanging branches, along current seams and around other clearly defined holding areas.
In rivers, Haira Tiny Plus One can be worked across the current, upstream or allowed to swing naturally towards the fish. It is suitable for rocky banks, shallow runs, channels, current breaks and calmer water behind obstacles. In lakes and reservoirs, it can be used along marginal drop-offs, weed edges and areas where predators feed on small baitfish.
Haira Tiny Plus One 33LBF is well suited to light fishing for trout, chub and perch, while the larger and heavier Haira Tiny Plus One 44LBF offers easier long-range casting and a stronger profile for larger perch, chub and asp. Both versions retain the compact body shape, floating action and running depth of up to approximately 1 m.
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.
