Fishing tips & gear
- Soft-plastic shads 10–15 cm in natural colors (Westin Shad Teez, Berkley PowerBait Pulse Shad, Keitech Easy Shiner, Savage Gear Cannibal)
- Slim paddle tails / pintails (Lunker City Slug-Go, Bait Breath U30)
- Dark colors at night, bright/silver in daytime on cloudy water
Zander have light-sensitive eyes — work drop-offs and edges 3–8 m deep around dusk. Use a sensitive rod tip: the take is often just a light 'tick'. Slow drags along bottom. Trolling with planer boards works well on big lakes.
