Product Details and Uses

Kinetic Pilken Silver – The Classic Banana Action for Deep Sea Success

When it comes to vertical sea fishing, some shapes are classics for a reason. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, the Kinetic Pilken Silver is a top-tier recommendation for any angler heading out to the wrecks or deep reefs. Its iconic banana-shaped profile isn’t just for show; it’s designed to create a unique, erratic “escape and glide” action that triggers aggressive strikes from predatory fish.

Whether you are jigging over a North Sea wreck or drifting over deep-water pinnacles, the Pilken’s ability to flutter on the drop makes it irresistible. Constructed from lead-free zinc, it offers a more environmentally friendly alternative without sacrificing the weight and sink rate required to get down to the “kill zone” quickly. Finished in a high-visibility silver, it catches every scrap of available light in the depths to ensure your lure is the one they see first.

Where to Use It

Wreck Fishing: Perfect for dropping deep into the structure for big Cod and Pollack. The gliding action allows it to “search” more water as it falls.
Deep Reefs: Ideal for targeting Coalfish or even large Lycet/Ling when worked close to the bottom.
Vertical Jigging: Best used from a drifting boat, using long, rhythmic lifts of the rod to allow the lure to flutter back down.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

When the tide is running hard, the banana shape can sometimes “catch” the current more than a straight jig. To combat this, try a slightly heavier weight than usual. Also, don’t be afraid to add a small piece of mackerel skin or a squid strip to the treble hook—it adds a scent trail to the already fantastic visual action, which can be the “game-changer” on slow days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the silver finish tarnish in saltwater?

The Pilken is built for the sea, but like all metal lures, it thrives with a bit of care. We recommend a quick rinse in fresh water after your trip to keep that silver shine reflecting at its best for your next session.

Is the hook strong enough for big fish?

Absolutely. It comes fitted with a Perma Steel hook, which is specifically designed to resist corrosion and provide the strength needed to pull big Cod out of heavy structure.

Why lead-free zinc?

Zinc is tougher than lead, meaning your pilk won’t “dent” as easily if it hits the side of the boat or a rocky bottom. Plus, it’s a much better choice for the marine environment.

What rod should I use with this?

You’ll want a dedicated boat rod (typically 20-30lb or 30-50lb class depending on the weight of the pilk) and a reliable multiplier reel to handle the vertical jigging and the weight of the lure.
