First Impressions

This lure boasts an ultra-soft, ribbed body infused with SAF material (Salt, Amino, and Flavor) to enhance fish attraction. Straight out of the packet, you can feel the quality—super flexible, buoyant, and packed with scent to trigger even the most finicky predators.

On the Water Performance

Fishing the lure on a Ned rig has been a game-changer. Recent sessions targeting pre-spawn Perch have proven just how effective this lure can be.

Natural Action – The ribbed body creates micro-movements, displacing water and imitating an easy meal for predators.
Neutral Buoyancy – Unlike many soft plastics, the Bellows Stick remains upright when rigged on a Ned head, giving it a natural, enticing stance on the bottom.
Subtle but Deadly – Even during short feeding windows, the Geecrack Bellows Stick has outperformed traditional jigging techniques, enticing bites when nothing else works.

Real-World Results

During a recent evening session, this lure helped land multiple Perch, including a standout 42cm, 3lb+ specimen. The bite was subtle but aggressive, proving how irresistible this lure is to quality fish.
