Why these fit

For muddy water, pike usually respond best to bigger, easier-to-track soft plastics with strong silhouette and movement. The Gonkin Stick is the standout if you want a slow bottom presentation for bigger fish; its buoyancy helps it pause in the strike zone. The Upswing Flat Crab 15cm - Green Black and Upswing Flat Crab 15cm - Chocolate Orange offer a larger profile and active claw action that should show up well in dirty water. The Upswing Crab 12cm Blood Black (3 Stück) and Upswing Crab 8cm Blood Black (4 Stück) are good compact options when pike want a smaller, darker target.

Technique notes

• Fish the Gonkin Stick slowly on the bottom with a screw-in head weight, long pauses, and short hops.
• For the crab baits, use a jig, Carolina-style rig, or other bottom-to-midwater presentation and let the claws work on the pause.
• In muddy water, keep retrieves slower than usual and favor darker or high-contrast colors like black, green-black, or blood-black.
• If you’re fishing cover, work them close to weed edges, drop-offs, and hard bottom where pike can ambush.

When to switch

Switch to a faster-moving lure if pike are chasing but not committing, or if the water is only lightly stained and visibility is better than expected. If fish are suspended, a bottom-hopped crab may be less effective than a more active soft plastic or a different presentation in the middle of the water column.
