Many anglers tend not to use finesse lures when fishing for pike-perch because they feel that this type of fish lacks mobility in the water. When you think about it, this is a big mistake. And why is that? Because there's nothing more natural than a roach or bleak perfectly horizontal and motionless when they stand in the water. So we're going to make a selection of the best finesse lures for pike perch in 2025 so that you can quickly master this category of lure.

Deps Sakamata Shad: The new-generation fine pike-perch lure

The Deps Sakamata Shad is, in our opinion, the Best finesse lure on the market today. Pike-perch is no exception.
Equipped with keels or fins on either side of its body, this stick lure offers a natural moving action that gives the impression that prey is jumping stealthily, stimulating the predatory instinct of pike-perch. Whether used as a jighead, dropt shot or carolina rig, the Sakamata shad is perfect for pike-perch fishing with a fine lure. It comes in 5 sizes for anglers to enjoy!

Megabass Super X-Layer: A legendary finesse soft lure

A lure that has been emblematic of the Megabass brand for many years, the Megabass Super X-Layer has been in the news ever since it was introduced on the French market.. The number of pike-perch that the Megabass Super X-Layer. The latter is considered to be one of the best soft lures for pike-perch because of its innovative designits manufacturing quality and its formidable efficiency.

The Megabass Super X-Layer is a slug with 5 large ribs on its round belly that produce distinctive vibrations underwater. This soft lure also stands out thanks to the glass bead inserts in its tail. When these balls collide they provoke pike-perch and other predators, making the Super X-Layer unique.

The Megabass X Layer is available in the original 10.5 cm version. Over time, however, it has been developed into a Giant 15 cm and Tiny 7.5cm.

As far as fishing technique is concerned, we really like to use it in vertical finesse in winter when conditions are very tough. Also in winter, we often use the Tiny version as a drop-shot to emphasise very marked spots.

Fox Rage Slick Finesse

The brand new Slick Finesse from Fox Rage is a cleverly designed evolution of the popular Slick Shad. It has the same look, the same tapered head and the same elongated profile, but with a distinctive V-shaped tail in place of the paddle tail. This fine lure is specially designed to fish for zander and other large perch, particularly in its 11cm size. You'll also find it in a 20cm size. Thanks to its top and bottom slots, it can be used effectively in congested areas. It can also be used successfully on drop shot rigs with a Texas hook.

You can count on the subtle vibrations of this fine pike-perch lure to manifest themselves silently, even without any action on your part. This is exactly what you want in a lure for vertical or pelagic pike-perch fishing techniques. The realistic but discreet vibrations of the Slick Finesse will more easily fool even the most educated pikeperch.

Madness Mother Worm

The Mother Worm is a real safe bet! Madness has succeeded in giving this lure outstanding mobility. A fatal asset for pike-perch fishing when they want movement on our lures. This fine pike-perch lure is also impregnated with an attractant, leaving a powerful olfactory scent around it. Another advantage of the Mother Worm The best thing about this lure is that it rarely misses. In fact, this fine lure is so flexible that it folds in on itself when sucked in.

Zoom Super Fluke: An old-fashioned finesse lure that's still just as effective on pike-perch

The Zoom Super Fluke est à lui seul responsable d’un véritable carnage de sandres depuis plus de deux décennies. Il s’agit très certainement du plus vieux leurre finesse connu par les pêcheurs. Un corps plastique particulièrement solide. Une queue très souple qui va venir chatouiller le museau des sandres. Vous pouvez le monter sur tête plombée ou le lester avec des inserts tungstènes si les eaux sont moins profondes. Le Zoom Super Fluke will also fit perfectly in dropshot.
