Axia Knocker 95mm – The Classic Surface “Dinner Bell”
Sometimes, you can’t beat a classic. The Axia Knocker 95mm, available now at Gerry’s Fishing, is our take on the most iconic surface lure design in bass fishing history. This isn’t just a lure; it’s an acoustic attractant designed to pull fish up from the depths and trigger aggressive, visual strikes.
With its 95mm profile and 15g weight, the Knocker is perfectly balanced for a “nose-up” posture on the water. This allows for a effortless “Walk-the-Dog” retrieve that generates a rhythmic, rhythmic clicking sound—the “knock”—that travels through the water column, acting like a dinner bell for predatory bass even when they aren’t actively looking at the surface.

Where to Use the Axia Knocker
-
Deep Water Marks: Unlike subtle sliders, the Knocker has the “noise” to call bass up from deeper water (4-6m+). It’s perfect for fishing over sunken wrecks or deep rocky ledges.
-
Murky or Choppy Water: When visibility is poor, the internal rattle helps the bass locate the lure via their lateral line before they even see it.
-
Estuary Mouths: Work it across the “seams” where the tide meets the main current; the knocking sound cuts through the underwater noise of moving water.
-
Low-Light Conditions: Excellent for dusk and dawn when bass are most active and sensitive to surface vibrations.
Gerry’s Pro Tip
“The ‘Knocker’ name comes from the internal ball bearing that hits the side of the lure during the zig-zag. To maximize this effect, use a slack-line snap. Instead of a continuous pull, flick the rod tip and immediately move it back toward the lure. This creates a sharper ‘clack’ and a wider side-to-side swing. In very calm water, try a super-slow walk—just one ‘knock’ every two seconds. The suspense often drives big, solitary bass crazy!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called the ‘Knocker’?
It features a specific internal weighting system that creates a distinct ‘knocking’ sound as the lure pivots from side to side. This vibration is known to attract fish from much further away than silent lures.
Is it easy to cast?
Yes, at 15g and 95mm, it’s a very aerodynamic “plug.” It carries its weight well, allowing for long, accurate casts even on breezy days.
Does it come in different colors?
We stock a range of colors at Gerry’s, but for the Knocker, ‘Bone’ or ‘Silver’ are timeless favorites that mimic the belly of a baitfish perfectly.
What rod is best for this lure?
A rod with a slightly softer tip helps ‘work’ the lure without pulling it out of the water, but a standard 10-30g lure rod will handle the Knocker brilliantly.
