Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 400g: The Deep-Water Anchor & Attractor

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 400g is our “heavyweight champion” for extreme depth and high-tide conditions. When you are fishing in 100 meters plus or battling the fierce currents of the Norwegian Sea, the 400g Torpedo is the tool you need to stay vertical. It retains the “smart and simple” philosophy of the range, using its significant mass to punch through the water column while offering the added allure of a secondary strike trigger.

Made from lead-free zinc, this pirk is designed for the angler who needs maximum depth penetration without sacrificing action. The integrated Rubber Makk ensures that even at these extreme weights, the lure maintains a seductive, lifelike secondary movement that triggers “bonus” bites from curious predators.

Product Details and Uses

The Kinetic Torpedo Pirk 400g is a tactical heavyweight for specimen hunting:

• Maximum Depth Efficiency: At 400g, this is one of the fastest-sinking non-lead lures available. It is specifically designed to reach the “kill zone” in record time, ensuring your lure is the first to reach the school of fish beneath the boat.

• Tide-Busting Stability: The “Torpedo” shape is highly aerodynamic and hydrodynamic. It resists “walking” in the tide, meaning your line stays straighter for longer, providing vastly superior bite detection and preventing tangles with other anglers on the boat.

• The “Bonus Bite” Rubber Makk: Even a massive 400g pirk can be made more enticing. The included Rubber Makk on the upper assist hook mimics a small sandeel or worm. This is often the part of the lure that Pollack and Coalfish lock onto, turning a standard pirk into a multi-species rig.

• Bait-Carrier Versatility: The 400g Torpedo is a fantastic “scent carrier.” Its weight allows you to pile on large baits like whole squid or big mackerel fillets without affecting the lure’s ability to reach the bottom. This makes it a top-tier choice for Halibut and monster Ling.

• Lead-Free Durability: The zinc construction provides a harder surface than lead, resulting in a louder “thump” on the seabed. It also stands up better to the crushing jaw pressure of trophy-sized Cod and the abrasive environment of deep-sea wrecks.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When fishing the 400g model, use the “Dead-Sticking” technique during heavy tides. Let the pirk hit the bottom, lift it just 30cm, and let the movement of the boat and the tide do the work. The heavy weight keeps the lure pinned in the strike zone, while the Rubber Makk flutters naturally in the current—this is a deadly way to target large, lazy Cod sitting in the lee of a wreck
