Scaly Fat – ribbed body soft bait for bottom fishing and slow retrieve
FishUP Scaly Fat 3.2 inch is a bulkier evolution of the classic Scaly worm profile. Designed with a ribbed body and reinforced rigging zones, it creates a strong underwater signal while maintaining natural movement. The 3.2 inch size is ideal for targeting perch, zander and pike, while the Trout Series version is optimized for trout fishing with an ultra-soft material.
Lure action
Scaly Fat produces a clear, noticeable vibration thanks to its thicker ribbed body. The flattened tail section enhances subtle rolling movement, making the lure effective both during bottom contact and slow retrieves. In the Trout Series version, the extremely soft compound reacts even to minimal rod movement or natural current.
The Classic version offers more versatility and durability, allowing the lure to work consistently in deeper water and when targeting larger predators.
Best use
FishUP Scaly Fat 3.2 inch Classic is a strong choice for perch, zander and pike, especially when fish respond better to a larger profile and stronger vibration. It performs well in lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
