Spintail GUNKI Drag Spin 130 S

GUNKI Drag Spin 130 S: a versatile spintail for pike fishing

The GUNKI Drag Spin 130 S is a spintail hard bait designed to target pike and other predatory fish in a wide range of conditions. At 13 cm and 32.4 g, this sinking lure stands out for its versatility and ability to cover different depths, from shallow edges to areas several meters below the surface.

Its main advantage is its multiple attachment points, which let you change how it behaves in the water and tailor its action to your target depth. Paired with its vibrating blade, the Drag Spin 130 S is a useful option for searching spots that hold predatory fish.

A bladed lure for a range of depths

The Drag Spin 130 S stands out for its ability to run in as little as 10 cm of water or at depths of up to 10 meters.

Using the front attachment point lets the lure run through the upper water layers. This setup is particularly well suited to fishing along edges, over shallow areas and around weed beds where pike like to lie in wait.

The upper attachment point helps the lure maintain its running depth during the retrieve. This setup makes it easier to search the middle and deeper water layers, especially when predatory fish are holding well below the surface.

Multiple retrieve styles to match predatory fish activity

The versatility of the GUNKI Drag Spin 130 S spintail lets you vary your retrieve technique to suit fishing conditions.

For a steady retrieve: clip your snap to the front attachment point, cast the lure, let it sink to the desired depth, then reel it in steadily. The spinning blade produces vibrations and visual flashes that attract predatory fish.

For a deep steady retrieve: use the upper attachment point to limit how much the lure rises during the retrieve and make it easier to maintain your target depth.

For a lift-and-fall presentation: add a 10–40 g weight to the front attachment point and attach your line to the upper point. Let the lure sink to the bottom, lift it with a broad sweep of the rod, then follow it back down while reeling in the slack line. This presentation lets you search deep areas much like you would with a paddle-tail shad fitted with a blade.

Features designed for predatory fish

The Drag Spin 130 S features treble hooks mounted on 360° rolling swivels. This setup follows the fish’s movements during the fight and helps reduce stress on the hooks.

Its sinking design and multiple rigging options make it a particularly useful lure for anglers who want to quickly adapt their approach to the spots they encounter.

Which color should you choose for the GUNKI Drag Spin 130 S?

Color choice depends mainly on light levels, water clarity and fish activity.

• In clear water: choose natural colors such as Neo Ayu, suited to conditions with good visibility.

• In murky water: opt for more visible colors such as Mat Fire Tiger to make the lure stand out more.

Try varying colors and retrieve speeds to find the most effective combination.
