Platypus lures feature a unique suspension and slow-rise action combined with exceptional rolling body motion. Allan Christiansen spent months developing the exact buoyancy so the lures hang in the water and slowly rise on the pause—a proven trigger for cautious pike. The ultra-sonic rattle system adds an acoustic component that attracts fish from distance.
The 19 cm sinking model (94g) is ideal for reaching deeper zones (1–6 m) and long-distance casting. The 16 cm low-floating model (56g) suits shallower active spinning (0.5–2 m) and is more versatile for structure fishing. Many anglers carry both sizes to adapt to different depths and situations.
Use the 19 cm sinking model for deeper water, covering water column efficiently, and when pike are holding at depth. The 16 cm low-floating model excels in shallower zones, near weed beds, and during spring and autumn when pike are in upper water layers. Both can be used year-round; choose based on water depth and target zone.
The 19 cm sinking model reaches 1–6 m depending on cast distance and retrieve speed. The 16 cm low-floating model covers 0.5–2 m. Both designs achieve excellent depth control thanks to their aerodynamic casting and the buoyancy-tuned body. Extended casts and faster retrieves push deeper zones; slower retrieves keep them shallower.
Both the 19 cm and 16 cm models are available in a range of natural and attractor patterns: classic baitfish colors (Official Roach, Natural Pike), high-contrast patterns (Firetiger, Parrot Special), reflective finishes (Great Silver), fluorescent options (Chartreuse Flow), and specialty patterns (3D Motoroil Blood, 3D Amber Perch). Many anglers select colors based on water clarity and light conditions.
Yes, all Platypus crankbaits arrive complete with sharp, high-quality carbon steel treble hooks pre-mounted and ready to tie to your line. The through-wire construction means hooks are extremely durable and secure, even during intense battles with large pike.

The Platypus lures designed by Allan Christiansen have become Scandinavia's leading big pike lures. Numerous requests from pike specialists led to the development of slow-rising, suspending models with exceptional buoyancy control. At a stop in the retrieve, these lures hang and slowly rise in the water, creating an extremely persuasive trigger for large, cautious pike.
Each Platypus crankbait features ABS plastic construction (lead-free) with Japanese-style carbon steel treble hooks. The ultra-sonic rattle ball system transmits acoustic signals that attract pike from a distance, while the through-wire construction ensures durability during prolonged battles with large fish.
The 19 cm model (94g, sinking) reaches depths of 1–6 m and suits long-distance casting and trolling for deep-holding pike. The 16 cm model (56g, low-floating) covers 0.5–2 m depths, ideal for active spinning in shallower zones and around structure. Both designs employ the same proven action: a mesmerizing roll combined with flank flash that mimics distressed baitfish.
The running depth varies by model and retrieve speed. Both are engineered to achieve perfect buoyancy balance, so they will suspend at rest and slowly rise during pauses—a technique proven effective even in cold spring conditions when pike are reluctant to chase fast-moving lures.
