FishUP Catfish 3 and 3.5 inch – aggressive action for jigging and vertical fishing
FishUP Catfish is an aggressive soft lure designed for targeting zander and pike. Available in 3 and 3.5 inch sizes, this model was developed for classic jigging and fishing with heavier jig heads in deeper water.
Lure action
Catfish produces a strong tail kick even with minimal rod movement. The thicker body stabilizes the lure during the drop, while the wide paddle tail creates powerful vibrations that remain noticeable at greater depths and in stronger current.
Application
FishUP Catfish 3 and 3.5 inch performs best when targeting zander with a classic bottom jig presentation. The larger profile also helps to select bigger fish, including active pike feeding close to the bottom or in deeper structure.
Techniques
This model is optimized for classic jigging with jig heads from 7 to 25 g, depending on depth and current. It also works effectively with vertical jigging and controlled lifts along the bottom.
When to choose FishUP Catfish
