Big Pike Lures PROMETHEUS Curly

Product highlights

Built for trophy fish, the Big Pike Lures PROMETHEUS Curly is a soft bait measuring 38 cm and weighing 155 g, featuring a curly tail that activates at the slightest pull. Its bulky profile moves a lot of water, enhancing both visual and vibratory presence. Ideal for pike fishing, it performs exceptionally when predators target large prey or lie in ambush.

The comma-shaped tail generates wide, regular pulses detectable at long range and effective in stained water, windy conditions or on deep marks. The supple body transmits a natural action on both slow and fast retrieves, providing a solid compromise between vibration intensity and stability. As a true soft big bait, it allows anglers to thoroughly work high-potential areas without excessive fatigue, while remaining easy to rig according to local conditions and regulations.

Whether mounted on a bait screw with stingers or on a suitably balanced jighead, this large pike soft bait keeps excellent line contact. Designed for both prospecting and persistence fishing, it targets anglers seeking clear strikes and spectacular attacks near weedbeds, drop-offs or wind-blown shoals.

Benefits and key features

- Imposing profile and generous vibrations to trigger both following and inactive pike.
- Highly mobile curly tail: works at very low speed, perfect for methodically sweeping an area or fishing in cold water.
- Rigging versatility: mount on a bait screw with stingers to improve hookups, or on a jighead to hold depth and counter wind or current.
- 38 cm profile and 155 g mass provide excellent water hold and clear feedback of the action on the rod.
- Selective targeting: a pike soft bait designed for specimen fishing and selective culling when the goal is a large fish.

The PROMETHEUS Curly is aimed at technical anglers as well as enthusiasts looking to accelerate their progress on large predators. Its comma tail creates a strong attractor signal without decoupling, even during changes of rhythm, allowing decisive animation variations (pauses, bursts, jerks).

How to use

Match your gear to big bait fishing: a powerful dedicated rod, a sturdy reel and heavy-diameter braid with a steel or stiff fluorocarbon leader depending on the area and regulations. On a bait screw setup, fit one or two trebles on stingers to secure tail strikes without hindering the action. On a jighead, choose a balanced shape and weight that maintain contact with the targeted water layer.

Recommended retrieves: slow rolling over weedbeds, stop-and-go along drop-offs, sawtooth pulls on flats, and steady fast retrieves to trigger chases. In cold or heavily fished waters, slow down and let the curly tail work close to the bottom. In shallower areas, a steady linear retrieve is often enough to entice a pike.

Tip: test several speeds within the same cast and mark a pause near structure (snags, rock heads, slope breaks). Strikes frequently occur on the restart of the tail.

FAQ

Question 1: Which rig is best for this 38 cm soft bait?

Answer: For slow prospecting and optimal hookup rates, a bait screw with one or two well-placed stingers is ideal. To hold depth in wind or current, choose a jighead adapted to the zone.
