Axia Arrowhead – 65mm – 4.5g

Axia Arrowhead 65mm – The Suspending Finesse Specialist

When the bite gets tough and predators are wary, you need a lure that can “hang” in the strike zone. The Axia Arrowhead 65mm, available here at Gerry’s Fishing, is a high-precision suspending minnow designed to trigger strikes from Perch, Pike, and Zander when other lures fall short.

The Arrowhead’s secret weapon is its neutral buoyancy. Unlike sinking or floating lures that leave the target area quickly, this lure suspends perfectly on the pause, mimicking a stunned or dying baitfish. Combined with a tight, high-frequency wobbling action and an internal twin-steel ball rattle system, it creates an acoustic and visual signature that draws fish in from a distance and holds their attention.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use the Axia Arrowhead

• Canal Pilings & Moorings: The 65mm profile is a “Perch magnet.” Cast tight to structure and use the suspending feature to let the lure sit right in a big Perch’s face.

• Sunken Weed Edges: Work the Arrowhead down to its 1m depth along the edges of weed beds. It’s a lethal “search bait” for Jacks (small Pike) hiding in the greenery.

• River Slack Water: In slower-moving sections or behind boulders, the tight wobble mimics a small minnow or gudgeon struggling against the current.

• Urban ‘Street Fishing’ Marks: Perfect for targeting Zander in basins or near bridge supports where a subtle, rattling presentation is often more effective than large, aggressive lures.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The ‘Magic Pause’ is where the Arrowhead wins. Most anglers wind too fast; try a ‘Twitch-Twitch-Pause’ rhythm. During the 2-3 second pause, the lure sits perfectly still in the water column while the internal rattles settle. This is almost always when a following fish will inhale the lure. On cold days, extend that pause even longer—sometimes up to 5 seconds—to tempt lethargic winter predators.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ‘Suspending’ actually mean?

It means the lure has neutral buoyancy. When you stop winding, it doesn’t float to the top or sink to the bottom; it stays exactly where it is in the water column, which is a massive trigger for following fish.

Is 4.5g too light to cast on a standard rod?

To get the best out of the Arrowhead, we recommend an Ultra-Light (UL) or Light (L) setup (rated 1-7g or 3-12g). On light braid, this lure will fly surprisingly far and give you maximum feedback.

Can I use this for Trout?

Absolutely. The 65mm size and 1m diving depth make it an excellent choice for larger Brown Trout in deep river pools or reservoirs.

Does it come with hooks?

Yes, it comes pre-fitted with two premium, fine-wire trebles that are designed for instant hook-ups on the “slash” or “inhale” strike common with Perch and Zander
