Lucky John Roach Paddle Tail – 89 mm roach-imitating shad
Price from £ 3.77 View productsSlender paddle-tail soft lures for perch, zander and pike
Lucky John Roach Paddle Tail is a slender soft lure designed to imitate a small roach. Its 89 mm (3.5 in) length matches the size of common baitfish found in many venues, making it a suitable choice for perch, zander and pike.
The tapered body leads into a paddle tail that produces a clear action during the retrieve. The tail responds both during steady movement and on the drop, allowing Roach Paddle Tail to be presented at different speeds and depths.
The lure can be worked with classic lifts and drops close to the bottom, retrieved steadily through the water column or presented with a combination of both methods. Short lifts followed by controlled falling phases suit perch and zander, while a steady retrieve helps search for active pike.
Its narrow profile creates moderate resistance in the water while maintaining the natural outline of a small baitfish. This makes the lure suitable for both slow, controlled presentations and faster coverage of larger areas in lakes, rivers and reservoirs.

Soft Baits Roach Paddle Tail

Its narrow profile creates moderate resistance in the water while maintaining the natural outline of a small baitfish. This makes the lure suitable for both slow, controlled presentations and faster coverage of larger areas in lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
The soft material is infused with a distinct squid scent. This provides an additional element to the presentation and may encourage a predator to hold the lure for longer, giving the angler more time to set the hook.
Roach Paddle Tail measures 89 mm (3.5 in) and is supplied in packs of 6. The range includes multicoloured patterns that can be selected according to water clarity, light conditions and the current activity of the fish.
More natural finishes are well suited to clear water, while brighter and more contrasting colour combinations help the lure stand out in low visibility, overcast conditions or more heavily coloured water.
Lucky John
Lucky John is best known for its wide range of spinning lures designed for perch, zander, pike, trout and other predatory fish. The range includes soft lures, wobblers, inline spinners and spoons that can be matched to different venues, fishing depths and retrieval styles.
Soft lures make up the largest part of the Lucky John range. It includes classic paddle-tail lures, slim profiles for jigging, curly-tail grubs, fork-tail lures, worms and imitations of creatures living close to the bottom. Series such as Tioga, Joco Shaker, S-Shad Tail, Makora, Kubira and Hogy Hog allow anglers to select the right action and size for rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
Lucky John wobblers include small models for trout, chub and perch, as well as larger lures designed for pike and zander. Depending on their construction, they can be retrieved steadily, worked with sharp twitches or used to explore deeper parts of the water column.
The range is complemented by inline spinners and spoons suitable for fishing in current, still waters and trout fisheries. Different sizes and profiles make it possible to choose a lure for slow presentations as well as faster searching retrieves.
Lucky John also offers a limited selection of spinning rods, which form a small addition to the brand’s extensive lure range.
The Lucky John range includes lures for light perch and trout fishing, classic jigging for zander and more powerful spinning for pike. When choosing a lure, it is worth considering the fishing depth, retrieval speed, size of the natural prey and current activity of the fish.
