XORUS TREASURE BOX PATCHINKO 125 Lure Set - 12.5 cm

Product Benefits

The Patchinko surface lure by Xorus has become a true legend among predator anglers. Designed to reach impressive distances, it allows rapid coverage of wide areas while maintaining precise presentation control. Its refined aerodynamics ensure optimal penetration through the air and a stable trajectory, even in strong wind.

On the water surface, the Xorus Patchinko displays an irresistible walking-the-dog action. Simple successive twitches of the rod give it a lively, natural motion perfectly suited to actively hunting fish. Its slightly concave mouth produces small splashes and a discreet but distinct sound that helps predators locate the lure from afar.

Recognized wherever topwater fishing is practiced, this surface lure for predators stands out for its versatility. It can trigger spectacular strikes in many situations, whether targeting wary or highly active fish, in calm water or over light chop.

Advantages and Key Strengths

The main asset of the Patchinko lies in its ability to reach distant holding spots. This casting performance opens up zones often inaccessible to other lures, allowing anglers to target distant schools, offshore breaks, or windblown edges. Anglers can therefore cover a lot of water quickly and increase their chances of encountering trophy fish.

Its easy-to-master animation appeals to both beginners and surface fishing experts. A few practice sessions are enough to perfect the walking-the-dog action, which imparts a sinuous, lateral, and very lively path to the lure. This erratic motion convincingly imitates a small baitfish trying to escape a predator.

The concave mouth and discreet sound system are designed to strike the right balance between attraction and subtlety. The splashes visually mark the lure's presence while the generated noise travels through the water without being aggressive. This convinces educated or wary fish while remaining powerful enough to draw active predators from long distances.

Finally, the Patchinko range offers several variants to meet each angler’s needs and environments. Depending on the situation, you can choose the size and color best matched to local baitfish, light conditions, and water clarity, while retaining the same signature action and effectiveness that made this lure famous.

Usage Tips

To get the most out of the Patchinko surface lure, pair it with a rod-and-reel setup dedicated to topwater fishing that provides both responsiveness and precision. A fine braided line with a fluorocarbon leader helps achieve long casting distances and perfect transmission of your animations.

On the cast, aim for potential predator holding areas: edges, breaks, weedbeds, inflows, or visible surface activity. Once the lure lands, start with a few meters of slow animation to gauge fish reaction, then vary cadence and retrieval speed. Regular pauses followed by a few sharp twitches often trigger the most spectacular strikes.

Feel free to adjust the intensity of the twitches to match surface conditions: wider movements when the water is slightly rippled, subtler motions in calm conditions or when fishing for educated fish. Thanks to its great versatility, the Xorus Patchinko lets you explore a wide spectrum of situations without changing lure type.
