Lucky John Ultraworm is a small soft lure with a ribbed body and a fine, tapered tail. The range includes 2.5 cm (1 in) and 5 cm (2 in) models designed for light fishing for perch, chub, ide, trout and coarse fish.
Ultraworm does not produce the strong action of a conventional paddle-tail lure. Its delicate tail responds to movements of the rod tip, short lifts and drops, allowing the presentation to be adjusted to the activity of the fish. It also works well with very slow retrieves and longer pauses.
The lure can be rigged on a light jig head, a small Cheburashka rig or used for drop shot fishing. It is suitable for short hops, slow dragging along the bottom and carefully working around stones, vegetation and other areas where fish feed on small prey.
The 2.5 cm (1 in) model is well suited to ultralight fishing for perch and coarse fish, particularly when they are feeding on very small prey. The 5 cm (2 in) version creates a more noticeable profile and can be used for larger perch, chub, ide and trout.
Lucky John Ultraworm is scented with mackerel attractant and available in a wide selection of colours. The 2.5 cm (1 in) lures are supplied in packs of 20, while the 5 cm (2 in) models come in packs of 9.
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.
