Best-of guide
Right, here's the lot. Every bit of lures we've dug into, ranked by our on-paper score — that's our own desk research on specs, build and price across five things: product quality, performance, how much it helps you catch, ease of use and value for money. We haven't bank-tested these, so treat it as a smart shortlist, not gospel.
Top of the pile right now: Fox Rage Replicant Shallow Lure (9/10), Fulling Mill Pike Streamer Selection (9/10) and Savage Gear 4D Line Thru Perch (9/10). Tap into any review for the full lowdown, the comparison and a buying checklist.
Top tip: match the kit to how and where you actually fish before chasing the highest number. A cracking bit of gear for big open waters can be overkill on a snug club pond. How we score.

Ultra UV Micro Grub · 4cm · 8-pack
A 4cm soft grub with a curly tail and UV-reactive colours. A handy little option for picking apart perch swims with light tackle, rather than chucking big lures and hoping for the best.

Range overview · 14 cm and 18 cm options
A loose-body soft shad for predator anglers who want to choose their own rigging. The 14 cm and 18 cm options lean towards pike and zander rather than everyday perch fishing.
83%Fulling Mill
Hackled dry fly · Product code 610 · Sizes 14 and 16
This is the hackled dry-fly version, mate — not the familiar nymph. A handy little option for trout taking insects off the top on lakes and rivers.
