Champion Ocean Candy

Try it after follows on natural colours, or when you want to change from silver, olive or yellow to something different. Its dark turquoise-blue flanks and vivid pink belly look clearly different from perch or pike patterns.

No. You can also fish it in lakes and canals. The colour name does not mean the lure needs coastal waters. Reach for it when you want to try the combination of dark flanks and a pink belly on your water.

Yes, as an extra colour alongside Silver Holo, Holo Perch or Esox Lucius. Start with a natural pattern that matches the local fish, then try Ocean Candy when you are not getting bites or pike only follow the lure. It is not an exact imitation of herring or any other particular fish.

Pink Candy has pink flanks and a vivid pink belly. Ocean Candy has darker turquoise-blue flanks, with the strong pink mainly on the underside. Choose Ocean Candy when you want to try a pink belly on a darker lure. Pink Candy gives you more pink across the whole body.

On the next cast, change the pace where the fish previously appeared. Try a short burst of speed or a pause if you have enough room for the lure to sink. If you switch to Ocean Candy from another colour, start with the same size. That makes it easier to check whether the change of pattern helped.

Champion is a sinking glider jerkbait. It glides from side to side on the retrieve, and you can change its action with rod movements or retrieve speed. It is worth fishing in bays, around reeds, along vegetation and over drop-offs. The key is to give it enough room to work.

Champion 12 cm weighs 45 g, 15 cm weighs 80 g and 17 cm weighs 120 g. Choose the smaller model when you want to fish a smaller lure. The largest is worth trying when pike are feeding on bigger fish. Each size needs a suitable rod and a leader that can withstand pike teeth.

Start with short rod twitches or bursts of speed with the reel handle. Alternate these with pauses and watch the lure's action. You can also fish Champion without constantly jerking the rod. When pike respond poorly, slow down. If they strike decisively, try a faster retrieve and more frequent changes of pace.

Yes, if there is enough open water between the vegetation and the surface. Champion sinks, so it drops lower during a pause. Over weed, shorten the pauses and control its fall. Beside the boat or bank, check how much time you can give it before it starts catching the vegetation.

For clear lakes and Swedish archipelagos, Holo Perch, Esox Lucius or Silver Holo are worth taking. Pack silver for Rügen, especially if you plan to fish where pike feed on herring. Add Fluo Tiger or Pink Candy for tea-coloured water, stirred-up bays and canals.
