The "Mighty" Cockroach works well in all trolling positions, though it is primarily a short position'. The Cockroach has an aggressive action that hugs the water at all trolling speeds and will work fine in all weather conditions. This lure has gained an enormous reputation, quite simply because it works so well!

In 1997 Peter Pakula was the first Lure Manufacturer to make lures from super tough, super clear Polyurethane resulting in the first Softease and Diamond Heads. Part of this system was developing a system using single molds to form Trolling Lure Heads. In 2012 we have taken the system further introducing a new form of two part material that is even tougher than than any used previously, plus with new additives in UV code name UV2, Fluorescent and Luminescent (Lumo®).

We have put together the Paua Hothead Range which includes Keeled Jet Heads and standard heads all using advanced materials and additives. Medium Pakula Lures are the ambassadors of our range, being the first to become established in new areas. It was the Medium Sprocket that Don of Kona Fishing Tackle, Hawaii, used first and had enough success to warrant stocking Pakula Lures in his shop. It is our recommendation that if you are fishing somewhere new, you should be using this selection of lures.

They are big enough to tempt the monsters of the sea small enough to be engulfed by the smaller ones as well. As the lures increase in size they become more specific in regards to their placement in the lure pattern. It is advisable to troll these and larger lures where they have been designed to run. The Medium Sprocket, is a long rigger lure with a tight swimming action that will work in all conditions at any trolling speed. This family of lures has been responsible for a great many of the successes of Pakula lures in fact as Peter Pakula says: "always run one of the Sprocket family in Lumo colours, and never move it!". The Small Sprocket is not just a light tackle lure and will hold it's own trolled in the Shotgun position in a heavy tackle spread, especially in the Angel colours.

These modified Pakula Lures would need their own catalog to give you all the information on the great success that their predecessors have achieved. When these lures are run in their specified positions you'll find them very easy to run together, regardless of trolling speed or sea conditions. Even more than position specific, our statistics show that each lure is also best in a limited range of colours in these positions.

The Pakula Sprocket is a legend, having been listed in the Marlin Magazine top 10 Lures of all time both times the survey has been done. This long rigger lure, particularly in the colours Lumo, has accounted for a great many First Marlin captures, Tournament Wins and the largest fish of the season twice in Cairns. If you are only ever going to take one piece of advice from us then let it be "Run the Lumo Sprocket on the long rigger, and leave it there!" Around half of all the successes on Pakula Lures are with this lure in this position. It may not catch fish for a while, but when it starts working nothing else will come close. Its tight swimming action works in all conditions at any trolling speed. It is totally irresistible, especially now that the lure comes with the updated Lumo Skirts. Don't leave home without a Lumo Sprocket! In fact you'll more than likely need spares. Anglers have been known to troll a full spread of Lumo Sprockets!

We have put together the Paua Hothead Range which includes Keeled Jet Heads and standard heads all using advanced materials and additives. The range of Small Pakula Lures include the totally updated version of the mighty little Cockroach, and further updates to this range known as the Softease Fang range introduced in 3rd Quarter 2010, one of the most productive lures to ever troll the seven seas. As with all our lures we have modified all the lures in this size to give you a comprehensive range of small lures for light tackle game fishing on tackle as light as 6kg. Do not underestimate their capabilities, they are just as useful trolling the wide canyons on heavy tackle as part of a spread of larger lures as they are on the light tackle grounds for Sailfish and smaller Marlin.

Apart from their inherent action and ease of use, these lures are the size of most small schooling bait fish and therefore more likely to match the hatch. To improve your odds each lure has it's own specific action to trigger feeding responses. Match to all this the choice of Pakula skirt colours and the new SOFTease material and all you have to do is find the fish! The Phantom is an incredibly effective game fishing Lure. Don't judge it by it's diminutive size. It is a big fish lure that has won many Sailfish, Black Marlin and BIG Blue Marlin Tournaments. It is primarily a long corner, long rigger and is a legend lure on the shot. Its straight, tight swimming action will continue in any conditions at any speed. Even when the fishing has shut down the Phantom still performs its spell catching lots of fish in waters where no other lures or even live baits are working.

It has earned it's status primarily in the colours Evil Angel and Pink Angel, but all the Pakula colours have done very well on the Phantom. Specs Length: 210mm / 8.25" Hooks: Size 25 Dojo Hooks Min Class: 6kg Recommended Leader: 150lb Positions: Long Corner, Long Rigger, Shotgun, Center Lure

The Pakula Heavy Tackle Gloves have been developed by Peter Pakula to offer a pair of gloves that handle very large fish on nylon, braid, Dacron and wire leaders. There are many improvements over the traditional leather gloves that have been offered as listed below.

Features:

Leather Glove Points 450Hi density soft leather padding on the palms helps distribute the load of the leader over a greater area and lessens the effect of hands getting squeezed.

The padding on the back has embossed grooves to help keep wraps in place.

The hi density leather padding is cut to extend along the index and small finger to eliminate the leader catching on seams to lessen the change of line and leaders hanging up on the gloves and to protect the fingers from leaders whipping when under great load.

The padding extends to the wrist for added protection. Palms are tough abrasion resistant Hi density but very soft cow hide which are much tougher than pig skin that is commonly used. By using hi density hide we are able to make the base glove thinner offering greater feel and dexterity.

The backs and sides of the fingers have drain holes to aid breathing for comfort and fast drying. Added padding on the inside of the thumb so that leaders don't get caught on seams and to add strength to that area. Elasticated cuffs for added comfort and compensate for various sized wrists.

Size label on the tabs so that you can find a matching pair of gloves easily and over sized Velcro tabs to keep the end of the flap tight so that it doesn't get caught in the leader. The position of the tabs is unique to minimise chances of the leader getting caught.
