New lures from Fox Rage — Angling Times

If you’re targeting pike, perch or zander this winter, it’s odds-on that you already own a few Fox Rage and Salmo items. After all, the brands cover every conceivable tackle requirement for the serious predator angler.

Since its launch here in the UK, Rage has firmly installed itself as the market leader and this year have added to their expanding range with more must-have terminal tackle and lures, and the rods and reels to go with them.

With Salmo releasing several exciting new lure patterns too, we headed to their Essex HQ to find out more about the kit hitting the shops now...

1) RAGE REALISTIC REPLICANT TROUT & PERCH

THE Fox Rage Replicant family has been further expanded with two incredible new additions. The Replicant Trout, with highly realistic detailing, delivers a swimming action irresistible to predators. Key features include a belly hook rotation system to maintain hook holds. In four sizes – 10cm/20g, 14cm/55g, 18cm/90g and 23cm/155g. The Replicant Perch sees the brilliant characteristics of one of the most successful swimbaits of all time worked into a perch format. The lure uses a super rip-resistant body material and features the proven Replicant swimming action. In three sizes – 10cm/20g, 14cm/55g and 18cm/85g.

2) RAGE CRITTERS

Fox Rage Critters in a range of colours and sizes deliver a crayfish imitation with real predator appeal. Fish them on jigheads, weedlessly Texas-style, or any other way the fish want them.

They feature multiple appendages, including uniquely shaped front claws, and have hook slots for completely weedless rigging. In three colours – Ultra Violet Dark Oil, Lemon Tiger and Natural – and a choice of 7cm and 9cm size.
