Soft plastic Crazy Fish
AI analysis
High confidence
8/10
Reliable lure with medium-high effectiveness (4.1/5), performs best on perch in autumn conditions; consistent but without a clear edge over competing brands.
New batch of 24 reports (15 solo, 9 combo) expanded the database to 97 reports (83 solo, 14 combo). Solo reports maintained 4.1/5, holding an effectiveness score of 8/10. Polaris 1.8" and Crayfish 1.8" models continued showing the strongest results: 7 reports rated 5/5 (mostly perch, September, 20–29°C, rain and cloud cover). Combo reports (9 total) include competition from Fishup Tanta, Keitech, and Flagman—their low ratings do not necessarily reflect Crazy Fish failures. Two weak solo reports (#15, #13) scored 2/5 and 3/5, but the sample average remains stable.
Best conditions
September–October, 16–29°C, mostly cloudy, rainy, or overcast skies; highest activity in light rain (0.1–1.3 mm) and moderate wind (4–15 km/h); less effective in clear, sunny skies without precipitation at temperatures >25°C and low humidity.
Best target fish
Perch (vast majority of reports, mostly 4–5/5 ratings); also zander, pike, and rudd; less reliable on small fish (roach, ruffe, and bream).
- Polaris 1.8" and Crayfish 1.8" show the highest consistency: 7 reports with 5/5 ratings in this batch on perch in autumn conditions; try these models first.
- Works best on rainy or overcast days (September, 16–25°C); on clear, hot days (T >25°C, 0 mm precipitation) results drop to 3–4/5.
- 1.6–1.8" sizes (Nimble, Polaris, Crayfish) deliver more consistent 5/5 results than smaller variants (0.8–1.2"), which often attract small fish.
- On nano-jig rigging (1 g jighead) shows solid effectiveness, especially Whitebait 0.8" for pike and crucian carp in rainy conditions.

All 24 new reports span September–October only; no data for winter, spring, or summer, limiting understanding of seasonal performance. 9 combo reports with competition from Fishup Tanta, Keitech, and Flagman create attribution uncertainty—low ratings may belong to competing lures. Two reports with low ratings (#15 = 2/5, #13 = 3/5) in the solo sample slightly lower the overall picture but remain statistical outliers. Unnamed model variant in reports #7, #13, #19, and #21 makes precise attribution impossible. Performance stability in strong wind (>20 km/h) and clear skies is poorly documented.
