Lucky John Trian Blade Long is a series of inline spinners fitted with an elongated blade designed mainly for fishing in flowing water. Its narrow profile creates less resistance than a broad blade, helping the lure maintain stable action when retrieved against the flow and in stronger current.
The brass blade rotates at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the spinner shaft. This action allows the lure to be retrieved at a faster pace, worked deeper and controlled effectively through river channels, runs and other areas with a noticeable flow.
Holes in the blade add extra disturbance to its action and create additional movement in the water. During the retrieve, the spinner produces regular flashes and vibrations while remaining easy to feel through the rod at different retrieve speeds.
The heavy-alloy body improves casting distance and helps reach fish holding farther from the bank. The shaped core is designed to reduce line twist during the retrieve, which is particularly useful during intensive spinner fishing in current.
The Lucky John Trian Blade Long range includes 6, 9 and 18 g models (0.21, 0.32 and 0.63 oz). The lighter versions suit smaller rivers and shallower sections, while the 18 g model provides longer casts, deeper presentations and better control in strong current.
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.
