Welcome to the ultimate predator angler’s playground. At Gerry’s Fishing, we take pride in housing the UK’s biggest range of pike and perch lures. Whether you are working a narrow canal for “stripeys” or launching massive baits into a windswept reservoir for a specimen “croc,” we have the technical hardware to turn a follower into a taker.
Modern lure fishing has moved far beyond the simple “silver spoon.” Today, it is about vibration, displacement, UV reflectivity, and perfectly balanced buoyancy. This guide will walk you through the essential categories of lures available at Gerry’s and how to match them to your target species.
The most versatile lures in any box. Soft plastics allow you to fish at any depth by simply changing the weight of your jig head.
Paddle Tails (Shads): These create a high-frequency vibration that pike can sense from distance.
Twister/Curl Tails: Perfect for perch; the fluttering tail works even at ultra-slow retrieve speeds.
Creature Baits: Designed to mimic crayfish or large insect larvae—deadly for big canal perch.
Built from durable plastics or wood, these lures offer specific actions that soft baits cannot replicate.
Jerkbaits: Lures like the legendary Strike Pro Buster Jerk require rod input to “dart” side-to-side, mimicking a panicked baitfish.
Crankbaits: These feature a “lip” or “bib” that pulls the lure down to a specific depth. Great for covering water quickly.
Surface Lures: Nothing beats the heart-stopping strike of a pike hitting a “popper” or “walker” on the surface in the summer months.
The “old school” classics that still account for thousands of fish every season.
Inline Spinners: The Mepps style. The rotating blade creates massive flash and vibration—perch find them irresistible.
Spoons: The Abu Garcia Toby or Kuusamo Professor. These have a wide, wobbling action that perfectly mimics a wounded roach or rudd.
Pike are visual hunters but rely heavily on their lateral line to detect “thump” in the water.
Lure Size: 15cm to 30cm+ (Don’t be afraid to go big).
Key Action: Look for lures with a “belly roll”—where the lure rocks side-to-side, showing its flanks.
Recommended Colors: “Firetiger” (bright green/orange) for murky water; “Natural Roach” or “Perch” patterns for clear water.
Perch are highly competitive and often hunt in shoals. They are suckers for “micro” vibrations and bright flashes of red or chartreuse.
Lure Size: 5cm to 12cm.
Key Action: “Stop-start” retrieves. Perch will often follow a lure for meters and only strike when the lure suddenly pauses or “dies” on the drop.
Recommended Colors: Red fins, dark barred patterns, and high-UV finishes.
At Gerry’s Fishing, we stock the world’s leading brands. Here are the specifications for our top-tier performers:
The Westin Swim (Glidebait)
Length: 6.5cm, 10cm, 12cm, 15cm
Buoyancy: Sinking, Suspending, or Floating
Action: Unique “S-Curve” swim on a straight retrieve.
Best Use: The easiest-to-use pike lure on the market. Just cast and wind.
The Savage Gear SG4 Gravity Twitch
Length: 6.7cm / 8.3cm / 9.5cm
Action: Magnetic long-cast system with a high-pitched rattle.
Depth: 0.5m – 1.5m
Best Use: Twitching through weed pockets for large perch. It stays in the “strike zone” longer than almost any other lure.
The Strike Pro Buster Jerk

Hooks: Ultra-sharp Owner trebles.
Action: Side-to-side “walk the dog” action underwater.
Best Use: The gold standard for modern pike fishing. Ideal for 4ft – 10ft of water.
We don’t just stock what’s popular; we stock what catches. Our team monitors local catch reports across the UK to ensure our range reflects the baits that are actually working. From the latest Japanese “BFS” (Bait Finesse System) perch lures to heavy-duty Scandinavian “Pounder” plastics for pike, we cover the entire spectrum of predator angling.
Q: Do I need a wire trace for perch fishing? A: If there are pike in the water (and in the UK, there almost always are), yes. We recommend a fine, multi-strand wire or a heavy fluorocarbon (0.60mm+) trace. A small perch lure is easily swallowed by a pike, and without a trace, you will lose the lure and harm the fish.
Q: What is the “Cheburashka” rig? A: It’s a “bottom-bouncing” system featuring a removable clip inside a lead weight. It allows your soft plastic lure to move much more freely than a fixed jig head, making it a favorite for technical perch anglers.
Q: Why do some lures have “rattles” inside? A: Rattles mimic the sound of clicking prey or distressed fish. In “colored” or “peaty” water where visibility is low, the sound helps the predator zero in on the lure.
Q: What does “Suspending” mean? A: A suspending lure has “neutral buoyancy.” When you stop winding, the lure stays exactly where it is in the water column rather than floating up or sinking. This is often when the biggest pike will strike.
Q: Are “weedless” lures really weedless? A: They are “weed-resistant.” By hiding the hook point inside the body of a soft plastic lure (using an EHG or offset hook), you can pull the lure through lily pads and reeds where predators hide without snagging.
Q: How do I choose the right weight for my jig head? A: As a rule of thumb: use 1 gram of weight for every 1 meter of depth. However, if there is a strong current or wind, you may need to increase this to keep the lure near the bottom
