Hunter Insect is a range of small floating surface lures designed primarily for asp and chub. Their main purpose is to imitate insects on the water, making them particularly effective when fish are feeding in the upper layer.
One of the most effective ways to fish the Insect is to let it drift freely on a slack line. The lure then rests on the surface and imitates a helpless insect carried by the current. Its visible legs add to the natural appearance of the presentation.
When retrieved on a tighter line, the Insect creates a distinct wake across the surface. Its tail action disturbs the water and produces a noticeable surface trail that can provoke aggressive strikes. The working depth of the range is approximately 0–0.3 m.
The lures measure 2.6 cm and weigh 1 g. Their floating design makes them especially well suited to delicate surface presentations when fish are actively taking insects from the top.
Strikes can come immediately after the lure lands on the water, so it is important to stay focused throughout the presentation. It is best to strike once the lure disappears from the surface or when a clear weight is felt through the rod.
Hunter Insect lures are hand-painted, so the product photos are for reference only and the colour or finish of individual lures may vary slightly.
Hunter is a Polish fishing lure brand with roots in handcrafted lure making. Production of Hunter lures began in 2009, while Hunter Polska was established in 2010.
The Hunter range includes a wide selection of spinning lures designed for different predatory fish. It includes lures for asp, trout, chub, ide, pike and zander, as well as small surface lures, river models, lipless lures and jerkbaits.
Individual series are developed for specific fishing styles and conditions – from subtle presentations with small chub and trout lures, through surface fishing for asp, to heavier lures for pike and zander. This makes it possible to choose a Hunter lure for rivers, lakes or Trout Area fisheries.
