Innovative design
The Jerkuda is the latest fishing lure developed by Décathlon under its Caperlan brand, dedicated to barracuda fishing enthusiasts. This lure stands out for its meticulous and innovative design, combining aesthetics and functionality to appeal particularly to this fish. In particular, it is made from robust and durable materials that are tooth-proof. The thickness of the plastic has been increased by 20% to guarantee long life even after many fishing sessions.
To the same end, the Jerkuda has an integral metal frame which runs all the way through the lure and secures the 3 triples. It's impossible for a fish to break one of the triples. The teeth of Mediterranean barracudas will have their work cut out with this lure.
A lure that perfectly imitates a small barracuda
The Jerkuda's design is another strong point. Its morphology truly resembles that of a small barracuda, which won't bother this cannibalistic species - quite the contrary. Available in a range of attractive, realistic colors. On the one hand, it imitates natural prey perfectly, making the lure irresistible to this predator's predators, but it has also been developed in the fetish colors of barracudas: white, yellow and orange.
Colors are chosen to suit different light and water conditions, allowing optimum lure visibility in both clear and murky waters.
A jerkbait to trigger the bites
This Jerkuda jerkbait from Decathlon Caperlan is available in a single size of 17 cm. This is both big enough to attract this carnivore, but also a reasonable size for use on our "classic" rods. What's more, its 31 g weight is perfect to facilitate casting distance, while preserving our rods.
Distance is also possible thanks to the weights inserted in the body. These not only provide a long cast, but also act as (rather low-pitched) noisemakers to attract the fish. The vibrations and sound effects of the lure stimulate the barracuda's hunting instinct, making it more likely to bite.
This lure will swim between 70 cm and 1 m below the surface. As with all jerkbaits, the animation is made up of long lines interspersed with twitches that make the lure jerk, followed by short pauses where a touch is often triggered. The curiosity of barracudas is bound to be aroused, but not only! I can assure you that dolphinfish in the West Indies have loved this lure, and I'm convinced that bass won't be able to resist it.
In short, the Decathlon Caperlan Jerkuda lure stands out for its technical features dedicated to barracudas (strength, resistance, colors). Whether you're a beginner or an experienced barracuda angler, the Jerkuda offers versatility and performance to maximize your catch. Don't wait any longer to try it out and, believe me, test it on other fish.
