M5 Craft
AI analysis
Medium confidence
8/10
Reliable performer for perch in summer, but sensitive to extreme heat and time-dependent.
M5 Craft silicone bait (mainly Kozyavka 2" and joker 1.8", plus purple 1.5" from new data) shows solid effectiveness in solo reports: 10 reports, average rating 4.4/5. Latest three August reports confirm stability on perch and crucian carp, but reveal critical temperature dependency: at 35°C results range from 3/5 to 5/5, indicating high variability in heat. Combo reports (5 total, average 3.8/5) remain mixed due to competing baits. Core strength — evening and morning fishing in moderate conditions; daytime fishing in heat unpredictable.
Best conditions
Evening and early morning in August; stormy conditions with cloud cover (20–32°C) show consistent results; clear daytime at 35°C unpredictable and often poor.
Best target fish
Perch (primary target) — consistently caught; crucian carp — several solid catches in combination with perch.
- Purple 1.5" size shows promising results (two reports with 4–5/5); worth testing this size variant alongside larger ones.
- Evening sessions (within 2 hours before dark) significantly more reliable than morning or daytime fishing in clear skies with heat.
- At 32°C and above, don't rely on predictable results — success depends on luck and angler skill, not bait quality.

Solo sample of 10 reports is small and limited to summer (June–August); seasonal generalization is weak. High variability in heat (35°C) may reflect fish behavior factors rather than bait quality. All reports concern perch and crucian carp; data on pike, carp, and other species absent.
