Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 500g: The Ultra-Deep Zinc Heavyweight

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 500g is the absolute heavyweight of the Torpedo family. This is a massive, lead-free “anchor” designed for the most extreme conditions an angler can face—think 150m+ depths in the Norwegian fjords or tackling the strongest spring tides over deep-water wrecks in the English Channel.

While it is “smart and simple,” its effectiveness comes from its sheer weight and streamlined profile, ensuring you stay vertical when everyone else’s line is at a 45-degree angle. With the added benefit of a Rubber Makk teaser, this 500g beast is a multi-species predator in the deep.

Technical Specifications

Product Details and Uses

The Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 500g is engineered for high-performance deep-sea prospecting:

• Extreme Depth Penetration: At 500g, this is one of the heaviest lead-free zinc pirks on the market. Its “torpedo” shape is designed to cut through water with zero resistance, dropping like a stone to ensure you are the first person into the strike zone.

• The “Double-Threat” Teaser: The upper part of the lure features an integrated Rubber Makk. This is a game-changer in deep water; while the heavy pirk body attracts fish with its flash and vibration, the fluttering movement of the Makk mimics a small prey item. This often results in “bonus” catches of Pollack and Coalfish.

• Lead-Free Zinc Resonance: Zinc is significantly harder than lead. When this 500g pirk hits a rocky reef or a metal wreck, it creates a loud, resonant “thud” and high-frequency vibration that can be felt by predators from a massive distance.

• Ideal for Bait Tipping: The strength and weight of this lure make it the perfect platform for “boosting your catch” with natural bait. The large treble hook can easily accommodate large strips of mackerel or whole squid, adding a scent trail to the visual attraction for Halibut and Ling.

• Specimen-Grade Hardware: Built for “monsters,” the lure is rigged with Perma Steel hooks and extra-heavy stainless steel split rings. It is designed to handle the immense pressure of winching a 30lb+ Cod or a powerful Halibut from the depths.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When fishing the 500g Torpedo, the “Short-Pump” technique is best. Because the lure is so heavy, long sweeps can be exhausting. Use short, 30cm sharp upward jerks. This makes the heavy zinc body “clack” and the Rubber Makk flutter aggressively. If the tide is roaring, just “dead-stick” it—let the tide move the Makk while the 500g weight keeps you pinned to the bottom where the big Cod are hiding
