FishUP Pupa micro larva for ultralight trout and perch fishing
FishUP Pupa is a micro soft plastic larva designed for trout fishing in small rivers, streams and trout area lakes. Originally developed as a competition bait, it quickly gained a reputation for triggering strikes when fish refuse larger profiles.
Available in 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5 inch sizes, FishUP Pupa allows precise matching to water conditions and fish activity levels, from ultra clear streams to heavily pressured fisheries.
Action in the water
FishUP Pupa delivers a subtle, natural movement that imitates drifting insect larvae. Even minimal rod input creates lifelike motion, making it ideal for slow and controlled presentations.
The soft body reacts instantly to micro twitches and current flow, which makes it extremely effective when trout inspect the bait closely before striking.
Best applications
FishUP Pupa is primarily designed for trout, but it also performs very well for perch in ultralight and finesse setups.

Techniques
Natural drift: let the bait move with the current while maintaining line control and adding subtle twitches.
Slow retrieve: steady ultra slow retrieve close to the surface or just below it.
Finesse presentation: short rod tip movements combined with long pauses to trigger hesitant trout.
The key to success with FishUP Pupa is precision and patience rather than aggressive movement.
