Description

Dirty Roach, as its name suggests, imitates a roach. In many lakes, roach are a staple food for pike. The lure is covered in silver holographic foil that flashes strongly on sunny days. Well-judged twitches create distinct flashes below the surface.

Dirty Roach imitates a weakened roach rolling from side to side and flashing in the sun. Pike readily attack such fish because they make easy prey. The strike can be very powerful and aggressive.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose Venom Dirty Roach?

Dirty Roach is a roach pattern with silver holographic foil and a dark back. It is worth choosing for clear water, especially when you see roach or other silvery baitfish. In sunshine, Venom's sideways glides reveal the flashes on its sides.

Is Dirty Roach worth taking to Sweden, Finland and Masuria?

Yes, if you plan to fish clear lakes or bays with roach. It is a sensible colour to start such a trip with, including trips to Lithuania and Latvia. Add Original or Carrot UV to your tackle box so you have a change when you move into water clouded by wind.

Is Dirty Roach suitable for Dutch canals?

Yes, if the water is clear enough to see the lure and holds silvery baitfish. Try it along aquatic vegetation, around wider sections of the canal and where small fish gather. In a very murky canal, compare it with Fluo Yellow or Pink Pie.

How can I use the flash of Dirty Roach during the retrieve?

Give the lure short sideways glides with pauses between them. Changing the angle of the silver side creates a different flash from steadily pulling the lure through the water. First watch its action close to you. You do not need hard jerks — adjust your movements so that Venom glides freely to the side.

When should I switch from Dirty Roach to another colour pattern?

When you enter a brown-stained bay, try Old Gold or Golden Fury. When visibility worsens, compare it with Original. If the water stays clear but fish follow the lure without striking, try Immortal and change the retrieve rhythm.

What is Venom, and where is it worth using for pike?

Venom is a lipless glider jerkbait that slides from side to side on the retrieve. Use it along reed edges, in gaps between aquatic vegetation, over underwater humps and along drop-offs near shallow water. You can take it to Masuria, Swedish lakes and coastal skerries, Finland or Dutch canals. Choose the size and colour to suit the conditions where you fish.

Which Venom size should I choose: 12, 15 or 20 cm?

Venom 12 cm weighs 37 g and is slow sinking. Choose it when you want to offer pike a smaller lure or fish above shallow aquatic vegetation. The 15 cm version weighs 80 g, also sinks slowly and is a good starting point for lake fishing. Venom 20 cm weighs 170 g and is sinking. It is worth trying when pike are hunting large fish, such as sizeable roach, bream or herring, or when you need to get the lure deeper. For this version, you need tackle suited to its weight.

How should I retrieve Venom when pike are reluctant to bite?

Start with short twitches and pauses. After each movement, take up excess line but leave the lure free to glide to the side. You can also work it with short bursts of speed on the reel. In cold water, try a slower retrieve. If a pike follows Venom without striking, change the rhythm or pause length on the next cast. Keep checking that the sinking lure does not drop into the vegetation or below the fish.

Which Venom colours should I take on a trip to Sweden or Finland?

For the Swedish coastal skerries, take Fluo Yellow and Blue Mackerel — both colours work very well on these waters. It is also worth bringing Gaspar Tail Bait 7 cm so you can offer pike a smaller lure with an active tail. For clear lakes in Sweden and Finland with roach and other silvery fish, take Dirty Roach or Immortal. Add Brown Trout if pike there hunt trout. Water clarity varies across Scandinavia, so bring several different colours.

How should I choose a Venom colour for Masuria, Lithuania, Latvia and the Netherlands?

First look at the water and the fish living in it. On clear lakes, start with Dirty Roach, Immortal or Old Gold. In slightly brown-stained or greenish water, compare the gold of Golden Fury with the contrasting Buster. In murky canals and bays, try Original, Fluo Yellow or Pink Pie. The same rule is useful on Rügen: choose the colour to suit visibility and what the pike eat, rather than just the name of the destination.
