Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike anglers covering a lot of water. The jointed action and strong silhouette make it a useful search lure when you want to find active fish.
- Anglers targeting bigger predators around cover. The larger sizes offer a meaty profile for pike, catfish and zander, especially around margins, weed and snags.
Maybe skip if
- Ultra-light lure anglers. Even the smaller option is a substantial soft lure, while the biggest versions are properly hefty.
- Anglers matching very small prey. The jointed Replicant is built around a bigger meal, so a smaller shad may be more sensible when fish are keyed onto fry.

Quick verdict
The verdict
The Fox Rage Replicant Jointed is a proper predator lure when you want a big, lifelike profile and plenty of movement without constantly working the rod tip. Its linked body sections give it a natural swim that should appeal to pike, zander and catfish.
It’s not the most subtle bit of kit for finicky little predators, and the larger versions need suitable tackle. But if you’re covering water, fishing edges or trying to tempt a lump from a snaggy-looking area, this is a cracking option.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Replicant Jointed Lure
There are days when a little shad just doesn’t cut the mustard. You’re stood on a likely-looking stretch, the margins are alive and you know there’s a proper lump somewhere below. That’s when a bigger, more obvious lure can earn its keep. The Fox Rage Replicant Jointed is built for exactly that sort of job.
This is a multi-part soft lure with a linked body that flexes as it swims. Rather than looking like a solid plug being dragged through the water, it bends and rolls in a much more natural way. Keep the retrieve steady and it gives off that wounded-fish look predators often find hard to ignore.
The range covers a useful spread of sizes. The 15cm version weighs 60g, while the 18cm comes in at 80g. Step up again and you’ve got the 20cm at 120g, or the big 23cm model at 155g. That’s a decent choice of ammunition, from a fairly manageable meal to a full-on mouthful.
Those weights aren’t just a number on the packet, though. They affect the rod, reel and line you’ll want to use. The smaller version is still proper lure tackle territory, while the 20cm and 23cm options need a rod with enough casting power and a reel that doesn’t feel bullied every chuck. Don’t try launching the biggest one on dainty gear, mate.
The internal lead weighting helps keep the lure balanced, which matters when you’re fishing different depths or slowing things down. You can work it over weed, tick it along a drop-off or let it sink beside a snag before starting the retrieve. That versatility makes it useful when the fish aren’t all sitting in the same bit of water.
It’s aimed squarely at predators, with pike, catfish and zander on the menu. Fire Tiger gives you a loud, high-visibility option for coloured water or dull conditions. Ghost Ayu, Young Perch and Natural Perch are more natural-looking choices, while Perch UV adds a bit of extra presence when visibility is tricky.
The lure comes fitted with high-end, super-sharp hooks. The original design uses an 8/0 jig hook and a 4/0 treble, giving you a serious hook-up setup for big predators. As ever with pike fishing, use a proper wire trace and suitable unhooking kit. A savage lure is only any good if the fish is handled safely once it’s in the net.
On the retrieve, don’t assume faster is always better. A steady turn can let the jointed body do the hard work, especially when fish are following close behind. Add the odd pause, lift or change of direction around weed edges and margins. Those little changes can turn a lazy look into a screaming take.
The Replicant Jointed is therefore a lure for covering water and showing predators a sizeable target. It won’t replace a tiny finesse bait when fish are feeding on pinprick prey, and the bigger models aren’t exactly pocket money in tackle terms. But for pike, zander or catfish looking for a decent mouthful, it’s a proper tempting package.

Our take
Why the jointed body matters
The big selling point is the swimming action. That multi-part body bends through the water instead of moving like one solid block, giving the lure a more natural pulse and tail movement. It’s dead handy when fish are following but not committing to a fast, aggressive retrieve.
The lure itself
A big, bendy profile with plenty going on
The Replicant Jointed is made from multiple soft sections, giving it a flowing, lifelike swim. That’s the feature to focus on. It creates movement even when you’re simply winding at a controlled pace, so there’s less faff involved in making the lure look convincing.
Internal lead weighting helps the lure stay balanced, while the supplied hook arrangement gives it the hardware needed for serious predator work. The original design uses an 8/0 jig hook and a 4/0 treble.
Worth knowing. Check the exact size before buying. The range includes 15cm, 18cm, 20cm and 23cm versions, but listings can vary. The larger models are 120g and 155g, so your tackle needs to match.
On the bank
Made for searching and showing fish a proper meal
Pike anglers will get the broadest use from it. Cast across a bay, work the margins, explore a weed edge or fan casts around a drop-off. The jointed action gives predators something to track, while the bigger body makes the lure easy to pick out.
Zander and catfish are also on the guest list. Try a controlled retrieve when fish are active, then slow things down around deeper water or cover. Natural Perch and Ghost Ayu suit clearer conditions, while Fire Tiger and Perch UV bring more presence when the water is murky.
Match the lure to the venue and don’t overlook the unhooking side. Bigger lure, bigger fish potential, and that means proper forceps, a suitable mat or unhooking area, and safe predator handling from bite to release.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
Is it a casting lure? Yes, but choose the version sensibly. The 15cm, 60g model is much easier to live with than the 23cm, 155g option. A rod rated for the lure weight, a reliable reel and a proper trace are essential.
Which colour should you pick? Start with a natural Perch or Young Perch pattern in clearer water, then switch to Fire Tiger or Perch UV when you need extra visibility. Ghost Ayu gives you another understated option.
Can you fish it slowly? That’s one of its strengths. The jointed body still offers movement at a measured pace, making it useful around margins, weed and drop-offs where a frantic retrieve might rush the lure past a waiting predator.
