While its larger siblings are famous for big-water heroics, the 85mm version is the undisputed king of finesse surface fishing. When predators are dialled into small fry or pepper bait, a standard lure will often be ignoredthat is where the Patchinko 85 excels.
Dont let the 7g weight fool you. Designed with the same aerodynamic precision as the rest of the range, this lure achieves incredible casting distances for its size. Its stability in flight is unmatched, ensuring you dont lose distance to tumble even in a light coastal breeze.
Why the 85 belongs in your box:
Ultra-Stable Action: Whether you are walking the dog at speed or using a subtle twitching retrieve, the 85 remains pinned to the surface without skipping out of the water.
Match the Hatch: Specifically designed for those days when Bass, Perch, or Pike are focused on tiny baitfish or insects.
The Panic Trigger: Its unique sliding action mimics a panicked baitfish perfectly, often drawing strikes from fish that have followed larger lures without committing.

South Coast Harbours & Marinas: Areas like Poole Harbour or Langstone are often filled with tiny pin mullet. In these glassy, shallow conditions, a 140mm lure is too aggressive; the Patchinko 85 provides the perfect, subtle profile to fool wary Bass.
Canal & River Perch: For the lure angler targeting Specimen Perch on the Grand Union Canal or the River Thames, the 85 is a topwater revelation. The popping, sliding action is irresistible to large stripes hiding under overhanging bushes.
Chalk Streams & Small Rivers: If youre hunting Chub or even Sea Trout in clear river systems, the 85mm size provides a non-threatening profile that triggers aggressive surface takes.
The Sandeel Season in the North West: When the sandeels are small around Morecambe Bay or the Cumbrian coast, the Patchinko 85 mimics the frantic movement of a fleeing juvenile sandeel better than almost any other lure on the market.
