PXS Pitch and Strike

PXS at Charlie's Fishing: Copper Head Blade chatterbaits, Guppi spinnerbait and Kagashi Worm

PXS, short for Pitch and Strike, is a lure brand that works with designer Kenshin Chiba, and its lures are certified by JAFTMA, the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association. The brand is known for hand-sprayed bladed lures with a lifelike 3D head and custom Teflon hooks, and for soft plastics made from a BPA-free silicone recipe with an eco shrimp scent. At Charlie's Fishing we stock the PXS lures that work on our perch, zander and pike: the Copper Head Blade and Copper Head Blade Junior chatterbaits, the Guppi SP Spinnerbait, the Kagashi Worm in four sizes and the Raijin 220 paddle tail. Below you find what each one is for.

PXS Copper Head Blade: the chatterbait for perch and zander

The Copper Head Blade is a bladed jig: a 3D fish head with a high-pitch brake blade at the front, a hand-tied silicone skirt and a Teflon hook. The blade sends strong vibration and flash through the water, which makes it a reaction lure on a steady retrieve or worked with short lifts close to the bottom. The PXS Copper Head Blade is 8.5 cm long in 10.5 g and 12 g with a 5/0 hook, for zander, bigger perch and pike. The PXS Copper Head Blade Junior is the finesse version in 7 g (7 cm) and 9 g (8 cm) with a 2/0 hook, for perch and for pressured water where smaller prey is on the menu. Add a Kagashi Worm as a trailer for a bigger profile and extra tail action. More in Chatterbaits & Spinnerbaits.

PXS Guppi SP Spinnerbait: double willow blades

The PXS Guppi SP Spinnerbait is a compact 10 cm spinnerbait with two stamped and engraved willow blades in sizes 2.5 and 3.5 for intense flash and vibration. A tuned wire with a power adjusting spring keeps it running smoothly over a wide range of retrieve speeds, the 3D head imitates a small baitfish and a luminous bead glows in low light. It comes in 9, 11 and 14 g, all with a 2/0 Teflon hook, and it covers water fast for perch, zander and pike around weed beds, reed lines and open water. The Kagashi Worm also fits it as a trailer. See all Chatterbaits & Spinnerbaits.

PXS Kagashi Worm: pin-tail trailer and finesse worm

The Kagashi Worm is a slim pin-tail worm made to go behind the Copper Head Blade and the Guppi: the thin tail keeps working at the slowest retrieve speed, and the colours match the PXS bladed lures. It is just as good on its own, on a drop shot or downshot rig, a round jig head, a shaky head, a Texas or Carolina rig. It is made from BPA-free eco plastic with PXS eco shrimp scent. The Kagashi Worm 3" (7.5 cm) and the Kagashi Worm 4" (10 cm) come eight per pack and are the finesse sizes for perch. The Kagashi Worm 5.5" (13.5 cm) (six per pack) is the size for zander and bigger perch, and the Kagashi Worm 7" (17.5 cm) (four per pack) also takes pike.

PXS Raijin 220: big paddle tail for pike

The PXS Raijin 220 is a 22 cm, 78 g paddle tail softbait, injection moulded in fine detail and hand-sprayed in realistic colours, one per pack. It is made for big pike and zander. PXS recommends fishing it weightless with a VMC Refill Screw and a VMC Pike Chain Rig. More in Pike Softbaits, Paddle Tails and Rigs & Stingers.
