Champion – Sinking Glider and Jerkbait for Pike

Champion is a sinking glider-style jerkbait designed for pike fishing. During the retrieve, it produces strong and clearly noticeable side-to-side movements. Its stable action makes the lure easy to control with rod taps or simply by using a reel or baitcaster.

Powerful action and wide glides

Short rod taps make Champion move rhythmically from left to right. It can also be retrieved with the reel, using pauses and changes of speed to vary its action.

During a pause, Champion sinks, allowing you to reach deeper fish and keep the lure in the strike zone for longer. Slower movements produce calm, wide glides, while faster taps create a more aggressive and irregular presentation.

The lure’s stable construction makes it suitable for different fishing styles. It can be worked slowly and predictably or with faster, less regular movements that imitate a disoriented or escaping prey fish.

Natural RealFish patterns and high-visibility colours

Champion is available in a wide selection of natural patterns inspired by real prey fish. RealFish colours are particularly effective in clear water and when pike are cautious or feeding selectively.

The range also includes strong, contrasting and fluorescent colour patterns. These versions provide better visibility in stained or murky water, during overcast weather and in low-light conditions.

Three Champion sizes

Champion is available in three sinking versions:

Champion 12 cm – 45 g, sinking, BKK size 1 treble hooks

Champion 15 cm – 80 g, sinking, BKK 2/0 treble hooks

Champion 17 cm – 120 g, sinking, BKK 3/0 treble hooks

The 12 cm version is the most versatile and works well with a lighter setup. Champion 15 cm is a strong all-round choice for targeting larger pike. The 17 cm model creates a clearly bigger profile and is designed for heavier tackle and powerful baitcasting rods.

Select the size according to the fishing depth, tackle and size of the pike you are targeting. Changes in retrieve speed and pause length allow Champion to be adapted to both active and cautious fish.

The Champion is a sinking glider-style jerkbait. During the retrieve it makes pronounced side-to-side glides, and its rhythm can be controlled with the rod, reel or baitcasting reel.

The Champion is distinguished by strong, clearly perceptible side-to-side glides. Its movement depends on the strength of the twitch, the retrieve speed and the length of the pause.

No. The Champion can be worked traditionally with rod twitches, but it also moves effectively when retrieved with a reel or baitcasting reel alone. A good method is to combine steady reeling with accelerations, short jerks and pauses.

Yes. All three Champion sizes are sinking. The length of the pause and the retrieve speed allow you to change the depth at which the lure works.

The Champion is available in three versions: 12 cm and 45 g with BKK size 1 treble hooks, 15 cm and 80 g with BKK size 2/0 treble hooks, and 17 cm and 120 g with BKK size 3/0 treble hooks.

The 12 cm Champion is the most compact version and suits a lighter setup. The 15 cm model offers a larger profile and more weight while remaining a versatile choice for pike fishing. The 17 cm Champion is intended for stronger tackle and selective fishing with a large lure. Always check the maximum casting weight of your rod before choosing.

Yes. The Champion can be worked with a casting setup and baitcasting reel. The rod power, line, leader and other components should be matched to the weight of the selected lure size.

When the fish are less active, slow down the retrieve, use gentler movements and extend the pauses. The sinking design allows the lure to descend into a deeper layer of water during a stop.

When pike are active, use a faster retrieve, shorter pauses and stronger changes of direction. Steady reeling can also be alternated with short, dynamic jerks.

In clear water, natural RealFish patterns that match the prey fish in the venue are a good starting point. In murky water or low light, try contrasting colours, darker silhouettes or patterns with a strong flash.

Yes. When fishing for pike, use a leader that cannot be cut by the fish’s teeth. Its breaking strength should be matched to the weight of the lure and the tackle being used.
