About Perch Professor Lures

The brand focuses exclusively on perch behaviour. Each lure is shaped and balanced to imitate the prey fish perch hunt in lakes, rivers and canals across Europe.

Key Features

• Soft, flexible material delivering lifelike action at slow speeds
• UV-active colours to improve visibility in deep or stained water
• Slim, finesse-style profiles ideal for passive or pressured fish
• Compatible with jig heads, dropshot and micro finesse rigs

Where These Lures Perform Best

Perch Professor baits work exceptionally well in clear and semi-clear water, slow-moving rivers and structured areas where perch ambush their prey. Their reactive movement helps trigger bites even during low activity periods.

Soft Baits by Size and Type

Perch Professor offers a focused selection of sizes and lure types optimised for different situations on the water. Smaller models work best for shy or cold-water perch, while medium profiles deliver stronger vibration for active fish. Their range includes slim finesse shapes, micro baits and classic prey-fish imitations.

• Micro soft baits (2–4 cm): Ideal for finesse rigs, passive fish and winter fishing.


• Small soft baits (4–6 cm): Universal size for most European perch waters.


• Medium soft baits (6–8 cm): Stronger vibration for aggressive or feeding perch.


• Finesse profiles: Subtle tail action and natural movement for pressured fish.


• Shad-style profiles: Wider tail beat and more water displacement.
