Collection: Porolon & mandula

Porolon & Mandula Lures – specialist tools for bottom fishing

Porolon and mandula lures are made for situations where predators hug the bottom and ignore classic wobblers or spoons.

Their soft bodies and unique action make them particularly effective for zander, perch and pike in rivers and deeper lakes.

In many Eastern European and Nordic fisheries, porolon and mandula have become go-to choices when fish are pressured or inactive.

Porolon lures – simple design, deadly results

Porolon lures are made from soft foam cut into fish-like shapes and mounted on a jig hook or special rig.

The foam material can absorb scent and attractant, making the bait smell and feel more natural to the fish.

Porolon works especially well in murky water or low light, where profile and vibration matter more than fine detail.

At JahiKala you’ll find a variety of porolon shapes and colours – from natural baitfish tones to bright “alarm” colours for provoking reaction strikes.

Mandula lures – segmented baits with upright posture

Mandula lures consist of several buoyant segments threaded onto a stiff wire or leader, usually with one or more treble hooks.

Underwater, mandula stands upright on the bottom and moves enticingly when lifted and dropped, inviting predators to strike from below or the side.

They are particularly popular for zander jigging in deeper spots, channels and river edges, where fish often pick food right off the bottom.

JahiKala’s selection includes mandulas of different lengths, segment counts and colour patterns so you can fine-tune your presentation.

How to choose between porolon and mandula?

If you are fishing in current or deep holes for zander and perch, mandula is often the first choice thanks to its stable, upright position on the bottom.

When the water is very cold and fish are ultra-cautious, a scented porolon bait can convince them to bite when harder lures fail.
