Pelagic

Pelagic fishing – targeting predators in open water

Pelagic fishing is an active and highly effective technique focused on locating predators in open water and presenting your lure at the exact depth of the fish. Instead of fishing structure or shorelines, you target free-roaming pike, zander and perch moving through the water column.

At Charlie’s Fishing, you’ll find a carefully selected range of pelagic lures, developed specifically for this modern predator fishing technique. We ship worldwide from the Netherlands.

What is pelagic fishing?

Pelagic fishing is all about actively searching for fish in the water column and presenting the lure directly in front of them. Using electronics, anglers continuously adjust depth, speed and presentation to stay in the strike zone.

This method is widely used on large lakes, deep canals and reservoirs where predators hunt away from structure.

Why choose pelagic fishing?

Pelagic fishing gives you full control. You actively hunt fish rather than waiting for them.

It allows you to cover large areas efficiently and precisely target big, roaming pike and zander, with perch increasingly caught pelagically as well.

Pelagic lures for pike, zander and perch

Successful pelagic fishing depends on stable, natural-swimming lures.

The FishImpact Slayer Tong (10 cm, 14.5 cm, 18 cm and 22.5 cm) is a proven choice for pelagic zander and pike.
The FishImpact Virus (14.5 cm, 19 cm and 25 cm) offers a realistic profile and strong visual trigger.

For larger silhouettes and trophy pike, the Stucki Fishing Kingsizer is highly effective. Innovative options such as the FishImpact NoNo Frog and FishImpact Manatee provide extra versatility.
