Lucky John Original Chubby SSR 4F is a small floating crankbait designed for fishing the shallowest parts of a venue. The lure measures 4 cm (1.6 in), weighs 4.5 g (0.16 oz) and runs at a depth of approximately 30 cm (1 ft).
Its short, rounded body produces a strong and lively action that can be clearly felt through the rod tip. The lure starts working immediately after the retrieve begins and remains stable in both still water and river currents.
The Original Chubby SSR 4F is particularly effective over shallow stony runs, close to the bank, above submerged vegetation and in places where a deeper-running lure would frequently catch the bottom. Its floating design allows the bait to rise above obstacles when the retrieve is paused.
It can be retrieved steadily at a slow or medium pace, with the speed adjusted to the strength of the current and the activity of the fish. Short bursts of speed and brief pauses can also be used to vary its presentation.
Lucky John Original Chubby SSR 4F is intended primarily for chub, trout and perch. Its compact size, 4.5 g weight and very shallow running depth make it well suited to accurate spinning on small rivers, shallow bays and near-bank predator holding areas.
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.
