ZOOTA LURES

Gangster

Gangsters make the neighbourhood a dangerous place - for pike!

Wagtail

The Wagtail is a devastating lure with a rolling body action and a seductive wagging tail. When Wagtails were reviewed in ‘Pike and Predators’ magazine (Jan.’05) they were described as being “a lure that can rival the mighty (Bull) Dawg ”.

Mini-Wagtail

Similar to the Wagtail but smaller.
The body is proportionately slightly wider than the standard Wagtail. This keeps the smaller sized lure thick enough to be tooth resistant. It has slightly less body roll than the Wagtail but can be fished a little faster.

Mega-Wagtail

Super-sized version of the Wagtail, which isn't too much of a monster to cast and retains the fantastic body rolling action of its smaller brothers.

When you need to apply the principle of 'Big Bait = Big Pike' then pick a Mega-Wagtail!

This slow-sinking pike-shaped lure is just asking to get eaten! It looks tempting enough on a straight retrieve but a twitch of the rod will cause it to turn to one side, which is great for inducing takes from those half-interested followers.
Enthusiastically reviewed in Pike And Predators issue 108!

Fast sinking version of the Curly Jack which will run straight and stay deep. Has a modified rigging and head design with a built-in swivel on the underside that allows the hook rig to pivot, reducing the leverage that a hooked Pike can exert on the lure making it harder for the fish to throw the hooks.

At last a swimbait that stays the course, with a great wobbly tail action to really drive the big girls wild! Fast-sink design makes 'Bob' ideal for fishing deeper waters such as reservoirs, big rivers and glacial lakes, and it also makes a great trolling lure.

A versatile, unrigged lure that can be mounted on a jig hook for fishing deep, or used unweighted as a brilliant shallow-running lure over weed or structure.

For shallow applications I recommend fitting either an easy-rig or shallow-rig (see accessories). Keep the rod tip above horizontal and use a fairly fast retrieve style – oh, and hold on tight! I love this lure, probably because my first lure-caught “20” was on a Sprog, and so was my second, later on the very same day! Check out the gallery page for pictures.

Another unrigged lure, that can be rigged up in similar ways to the Sprog. It is best fished slowly or with a “sink-&-draw” style retrieve to highlight the curly tail’s superb rippling action, but you can throw in the occasional jerk of the rod which will cause it to sweep off to one side - deadly!

No more gooey mess! Realistic Slugs for stalking Chub on those days when you don't fancy pike fishing.

New and Improved for 2007...

I am now making the slugs from a special softer plastic, which gives them a far more naturalistic feel.

Everybody who has seen the new style slugs has commented on how 'squishy' and 'horribly convincing' they are! A further advantage of this new plastic is that it floats, allowing you to cater for differing conditions by adding shot or tungsten putty just above the hook to critically balance the bait's rate of fall through the water column.

Bag of Slugs - 4 per pack, two large and two medium £1.95

Normally stocked in Black only

Therapy Tails

Bring new life to your lures with some re-tail therapy!
Large curly-tails for easy replacement of damaged/missing lure tails. Therapy Tails can be fused onto most soft plastic lures using a hot knife or soldering iron. Large size which suits the Zoota Lures range, Bulldawgs, Sandras, etc. - or can be trimmed down to suit your own needs.
