Illex Freddy Catwalk Noisy

The Freddy with Extra Sound

The Illex Freddy Catwalk Noisy is the sound-equipped variant of the highly successful swimbait. Like its silent counterpart, it delivers outstanding swimming action and first-rate build quality - but adds a built-in rattle chamber on top. That chamber gives the lure a seductive sound in the water, which significantly increases its presence in tough conditions: coloured water, heavy wave action or any situation where visibility is poor and background noise is high. Whenever pike, largemouth bass and other swimbait enthusiasts need more noise to trigger a take, the Freddy Catwalk Noisy is the right call.

2 Sizes for a Wide Range of Applications

The Illex Freddy Catwalk Noisy comes in 2 sizes. The smaller, at 13 cm and 20.9 g, suits relatively light swimbait setups and works as a genuine all-rounder - catching pike, largemouth bass, zander and even big perch. The larger, at 16.8 cm and 44.5 g, is considerably bigger and heavier, making it the right choice for medium-heavy setups when you're targeting bigger pike and largemouth bass. A true big fish magnet.

Easy to Fish on Both Spinning and Baitcasting Rods

The Illex Freddy Catwalk Noisy is an exceptionally easy swimbait to work. A straight, steady retrieve is usually all it takes - the lure does most of the work itself, carving those characteristic S-curves through the water that predators can't resist. You can add variety to the action by throwing in the odd twitch, a pause or a Stop & Go retrieve. Breaking out of the constant S-curve this way creates something unexpected, which is often what finally triggers the strike. Because this swimbait is so straightforward to handle, it fishes equally well on both spinning rods and baitcasting rods - a swimbait for every angler.

Rotating Treble Hooks and the Option to Fish Deeper

The Illex Freddy Catwalk Noisy is fitted with 2 treble hooks, each connected to the lure via a 30 lb 360° swivel joint. That swivel prevents predators from using the lure as a lever, which means fewer lost fish. On the front belly treble hook, you can also attach a drop weight - such as the John Weight - to get the Freddy Catwalk Noisy running deeper and target predators holding further down in the water column.
