Claes "Svartzonker" Claesson is a Swedish lure builder who started Svartzonker Sweden in 2013. The focus is primarily on lures, rods, and accessories for predator fishing. Affordable products that work and catch fish on the water. Several of the pike lures Claes has developed are already classics, such as McTail, McRubber, and McHybrid. Svartzonker collaborates with ABU Garcia, so several Svartzonker products can also be found in Abu’s range.

Jig head size
What size jig head with hook should I use?
Here’s a simple guide for those wondering which jig heads with hooks fit which jig lengths. What determines the jig head to use is the hook size, as it decides where on the jig body the hook exits. Then you can choose different weights for the jig head depending on how deep you want the jig to go, or shapes that suit different fishing methods better.
There are also other types of jig heads without hooks, called 'Screw-In-Heads,' often used in pike fishing, where the smallest sizes fit jigs from about 13-14 cm and up.

Sub category
Weight group
Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.
Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
