FAQs

What type of fish is this lure best for?

The Abu Garcia Svartzonker McCelly is primarily designed for predatory fish such as pike and zander. Its size and action can also appeal to larger perch.

What is the recommended retrieve speed for cold water?

For cold water fishing where fish are less active, a very slow, steady retrieve is recommended to initiate the lure's undulating action and trigger cautious bites.

Can this lure be used for trolling?

Yes, the McCelly functions well as a trolling lure, with a fishing depth typically between 2-4 meters.

What are the main materials used in its construction?

The lure is made from high-impact ABS plastic and weighted with eco-friendly zinc. It features stainless steel wires and an oversized stainless steel screw for durability.

What are the dimensions and weight of this specific model?

This specific model is 7cm long and weighs 9g.

How deep does this lure typically run when casting and retrieving?

When used as a classic spin bait for casting, it is designed to work effectively in depths between 1-2 meters.

Troubleshooting

Lure not swimming correctly or spinning.

Ensure the lure is tied directly or with a snap that allows free movement. Check if the line is twisted and try using a swivel if necessary. Verify the lure is rigged straight and not damaged.

Limited action at slow retrieve.

Ensure you are retrieving slowly enough to allow the lure's profile to engage the water. Some water resistance or current can help initiate its movement.

Hooks are dull or damaged.

Inspect the treble hooks regularly. Sharpen them with a hook file or replace them with new, sharp hooks of similar size and strength.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective action at slow retrieve speeds, crucial for cold water fishing.
  • Versatile design suitable for both casting and trolling applications.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel components for extended use.
  • High-profile shape creates an attractive visual and vibration for fish.
  • Compact size and weight make it easy to cast and manage.

Cons

  • Specific trolling depth (2-4m) may require adjustments for different water conditions.
  • May not be suitable for extremely shallow water casting without modification or technique.
  • Coloration (Blue Silver) might be less effective in very murky or very clear water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Abu Garcia Svartzonker McCelly is ready to use out of the package. Attach it to your fishing line using a reliable snap or a direct knot. Ensure the lure is rigged straight to maximize its intended action. For best results, use with a fluorocarbon leader or a light wire leader, especially when targeting toothy fish like pike.

Compatibility: This lure is compatible with standard spinning and casting setups. Its 9g weight is suitable for medium-action rods. It can be used in freshwater environments for species like pike, zander, and large perch.

Care: After each use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt, dirt, or debris. Store the lure in a cool, dry place, preferably in a lure box, to prevent damage and keep its finish intact. Inspect the hooks and stainless steel components regularly for any signs of wear or corrosion.
