Technical Specifications

• CWC Wolftail Jr predator lure designed for pike, zander and large perch in freshwater.
• Pronounced rolling swim that undulates along the body for strong attraction, even at reduced speeds.
• Very mobile soft plastic tail that animates both on slow retrieves and fast retrieves and stays active during pauses.
• Particularly effective in cold water or when fish are lethargic and only respond to gentle, steady animations.
• Optimal for cast-and-retrieve, straight retrieves, stop-and-go or repeated pauses along shorelines, drop-offs and structure.
• Designed by Anders Ulvforsen (Wolfcreek Lures) for CWC — a mark of experience, reliability and effectiveness on picky predators.
• Available in multiple color and finish options to match light and water clarity conditions without changing its characteristic action.

Benefits and Key Features

The main advantage of this pike and zander lure is its ability to remain fishable throughout every phase of the presentation. From the moment it enters the water it displays a wide rolling swim, even at very low speed, which can trigger strikes from laid-up or inactive fish. The soft tail continues to vibrate during pauses, mimicking a baitfish that freezes then darts away — a behavior irresistible to predators. Its versatility makes it ideal for covering large search areas as well as focusing precisely on marked spots such as drop-offs, weed edges or submerged obstacles. Anglers also appreciate its stability, which reduces hookups lost and improves hook-up rates.

This CWC predator lure fits easily into lure boxes dedicated to pike, zander or large perch and complements soft plastics or classic hardbaits. It offers a wider, different swim that can make the difference on fish already presented with other profiles. Its quality finish, solid rigging and castable profile make it a reliable companion from small ponds to large rivers and reservoir lakes. With a pronounced yet natural action, it produces strikes both in daylight and in lower light conditions.

Usage Tips

To get the most from this predator lure, use a rod-and-reel setup powerful enough to handle fights with pike and zander while remaining comfortable to fish. A abrasion-resistant leader—thick fluorocarbon or steel—will secure strikes and limit bite-offs. In cold water or on educated fish, favor slow retrieves punctuated by long pauses: the lure keeps working thanks to its soft tail, giving predators time to decide. When activity is higher, faster straight retrieves or stop-and-go retrieves can trigger reflex strikes.

Vary search angles by alternating casts parallel to the bank, casts to drop-offs or to submerged structure. This lure for pike, zander and large perch works equally well from shore or boat, while drifting or anchored. Simply adjust retrieve speed and pause length according to season, water temperature and observed activity. By regularly changing rhythm you fully exploit the Wolftail Jr's swimming potential and maximize chances of triggering bites, even from cautious fish.
