Kinetic Norske Pilken 400g: The Versatile Deep-Sea Workhorse

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Kinetic Norske Pilken 400g is the “gold standard” weight for serious deep-sea vertical angling. It provides the perfect balance—heavy enough to reach the depths of Norwegian fjords or deep UK wrecks in strong tides, yet agile enough to maintain that signature “crazy” banana-shaped movement. This lure is a masterclass in Scandinavian design, combining a hammered surface for acoustic attraction with a double-hook system for maximum landing rates.

By integrating a Rubber Makk on the upper hook, the 400g Norske Pilken acts as both a primary lure and a teaser rig, making it a “double threat” for Cod, Pollack, and Halibut.

Product Details and Uses

The Kinetic Norske Pilken 400g is a tactical choice for high-success vertical jigging:

• Proven Triple Design: This pilker utilizes a banana shape to create erratic side-to-side movements on the drop, a hammered surface to send out high-frequency vibrations and multi-directional light flashes, and a double hook setup to catch fish that strike at any part of the lure.

• Secondary Strike Trigger: The upper hook is pre-rigged with a Rubber Makk. This soft plastic attractor is legendary for its ability to catch Pollack and Coalfish, often resulting in “double-headers” where a Cod takes the main pirk and a Pollack takes the Makk.

• Superior “Escape” Action: On the upward lift, the curved body causes the lure to dart and weave like a panicked baitfish. On the fall, it glides out wide, covering a huge footprint on the seabed to attract fish from a distance.

• High-Vis Holographic Eyes: The 3D holographic eyes provide a realistic target for predators in the low-light conditions of the deep sea, focusing the strike directly onto the hook areas.

• Heavy-Duty Build: Rigged with Perma Steel hooks and stainless steel split rings, the 400g model is built to withstand the immense pressure of winching specimen-sized fish up through hundreds of feet of water.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The 400g model is the perfect “Search and Destroy” lure. Because it glides so well, try “walking” it across the bottom. Lift the rod, let it glide down on a slack line, and then wait for it to settle before lifting again. This allows the pirk to “wander” away from the boat’s drift, helping you find fish that haven’t been spooked by the shadow of the hull
