Lucky John Radiator is a deep-bodied paddle-tail lure with pronounced ribbing and a clearly defined tail. The range includes 5 cm (2 in) and 7.5 cm (3 in) versions designed primarily for targeting perch and zander.
Deep grooves running along the sides increase the flexibility of the body. This allows the tail to start working at low retrieve speeds, while the entire lure remains mobile during the fall and when slowly worked close to the bottom.
The paddle tail produces regular vibrations during a steady retrieve and after each lift of the rod. Radiator can be fished with a classic lift-and-fall presentation, moved in short hops along the bottom or retrieved slowly above vegetation and other underwater obstacles.
The lure can be rigged on traditional jig heads or articulated Cheburashka weights. The smaller 5 cm version is well suited to light perch fishing, while the 7.5 cm model is a good option for larger perch and zander feeding on small baitfish.
Lucky John Radiator can be used in lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Its ribbed body and active tail make it suitable both for covering water at a faster pace and for slower presentations close to the bottom when the fish are less active.
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.
