Zander have extremely good eyesight and can see very well in murky water. Which makes them more difficult to outwit. Hunting for these delicious fish goes well with soft lures in all sizes. The inconspicuous rig is important. For zander fishing, rigging with a fluorocarbon leader is recommended. With baitfish, you have better chances if all the other anglers around you are using soft lures.
And now to the technique: When fishing for zander with soft lures, it is important that the jig head hits the bottom. Whenever the line slackens and the lure has reached the bottom, give a short, fast pull to accelerate the lure. When it sinks again, most zander will bite. Now it is important to keep calm and react quickly. Because the hook can quickly slip out of the bony mouth of the predatory fish.
