When predators are dialed into larger, high-profile forage like roach, perch, or small bream, a slim minnow just wont cut it. The Axia Chunky 110mm, available now at Gerrys Fishing, is a tall-bodied, jointed swimbaits engineered to move water and command attention.
The Chunky gets its name from its deep-sided profile, which provides a massive visual target. Thanks to its precision-jointed construction, a slow retrieve produces a seductive, wide S-wave swimming action. As you increase the speed, that movement tightens into a frantic, high-vibration shimmer. Running shallow at just 30cm (approx. 1ft), it is the ultimate tool for targeting big Pike, Perch, and Zander in the upper layers of the water column.

Shallow Weedy Bays: Because it stays in the top 30cm of water, the Chunky is perfect for gliding over the top of cabbage weed and sunken lilies where Pike wait in ambush.
Canal Margins: Use the 26g weight to punch accurate casts along the far bank or under boat hulls where Zander and big Perch often lurk in the shadows.
River Slacks: In slower-moving river sections, the jointed action remains incredibly realistic even at a crawl, making it a top choice for sleepy winter predators.
Floodwater Fishing: When the water is colored or murky, the tall body and shifting weight of the jointed sections create a large pressure wave that fish can feel through their lateral lines.
The Chunky is more than just a straight-retrieve bait. To really unlock its potential, try the Hang & Twitch. Bring the lure to a stop near a piece of coverthe jointed body will continue to flicker slightly as it settles. Give it a sharp, aggressive twitch, and the lure will dart nearly 90 degrees to one side. This sudden change in direction is almost always the trigger for a following Pike to finally commit to the strike.
Is 26g too heavy for a standard lure rod?
26g is a substantial weight, making it perfect for Medium (M) or Medium-Heavy (MH) lure rods typically rated 1040g or 1550g. It casts like a bullet!
What makes a jointed lure better than a one-piece?
The joint allows for a much more fluid, snake-like motion that a stiff-bodied lure cant replicate. It also creates a small amount of mechanical noise (clacking) as the segments move, which adds to the attraction.
Can I use this for Bass in saltwater?
Absolutely. The tall profile is a great match for small sea bream or pouting, and its 30cm diving depth makes it a lethal shallow-ground bass lure during the summer months.
Should I use a wire trace?
Definitely. Since the Chunky is a prime target for Pike and Zander, a 20lb30lb multi-strand wire or heavy titanium trace is essential to prevent bite-offs from sharp teeth
