Xorus Patchinko 125125mm - 18g Floating

Overview

Overview

The Xorus Patchinko 125 is a floating surface pencil lure built for sea bass fishing, sitting in the Xorus range between the smaller Patchinko 100 and the larger Patchinko II / 140.

At 125mm and 18g, it offers a useful middle ground between the 100mm, 11g Patchinko 100 and the 140mm, 25-27g Patchinko II, giving anglers a casting weight that suits appropriately rated bass lure rods.

Its streamlined, tail-weighted body and slightly concave mouth combine with an internal rattle and premium Decoy TS21 #3 and Decoy YS21 #3 treble hooks to create a surface lure built to a specification that experienced bass anglers look for.

Perfect For

The Patchinko 125 is designed for bass hunting near the surface along UK coastlines, and suits beaches, rocky gullies, reef edges, shallow bays and suitable estuary marks.

Its floating design allows it to be worked confidently over shallow or snaggy ground where a deeper-diving lure would be more likely to foul, making it a reliable searching lure when covering large areas of coastal water for feeding bass.

Technical Insight

A tail-weighted, aerodynamic body sits at the heart of the Patchinko 125's casting performance, helping it cut through the air with reduced resistance so anglers can reach fish holding beyond the immediate shoreline.

A straightforward steady retrieve produces a subtle surface wobble that's accessible to anglers relatively new to surface lure fishing, while short, rhythmic rod-tip twitches bring out a more pronounced walk-the-dog zigzag for those wanting a more animated presentation.

The internal rattle and concave mouth work together to add sound and surface disturbance, giving bass hunting near the surface an extra trigger to home in on the lure regardless of retrieve style.
