Welcome to Gerrys Fishing. When it comes to big-game saltwater trolling, jigging, or heavy-duty inshore work, the Nikko Octopus 6 in the vibrant Electric Lemonade colorway is a powerhouse. Designed by Japanese nanotechnology experts, this lure represents the next generation of eco-friendly, high-performance soft baits. Crafted from Nikkos signature super-tough TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), it offers a level of durability and action that traditional PVC plastics simply cannot match.

Why the Nikko Octopus 6 is a Must-Have

This isnt just a soft bait; its a long-term investment for your tackle box. Here is why the 6 Octopus is a favorite among our team at Gerrys:

• Unrivaled Durability: Thanks to the TPE material, these baits are near-indestructible. They can withstand dozens of strikes and are tough enough to handle toothy predators that would shred standard plastic baits in seconds. Many anglers report well over 100 catches on a single bait!

• Natural, Lifelike Movement: The bulbous head profile, realistic bulging eyes, and finely detailed suction cups give this bait a highly seductive silhouette. The super-soft legs flutter and quiver with the slightest current or rod movement, creating a natural, rhythmic flow that fish find impossible to ignore.

• Nanotechnology Scent: The scent is built directly into the material, not just coated on. If you feel the action is slowing down, simply give the bait a good stretch to release fresh scented oils from within the elastomer. No messy bottles or gels required.

• Versatile Rigging: The hollow-head design allows for easy mounting on a variety of terminal gear, including jig heads, trolling rigs, or as a trailer for heavy-duty metal jigs.

Pro Tip

Because the Nikko Octopus 6 is naturally buoyant, it is an absolute killer when rigged on a weighted trolling rig or a heavy jig head. As your lure hits the bottom or slows down during a retrieve, the bait doesnt just diethe legs and tentacles continue to float and quiver, maintaining a perfectly natural, feeding posture that often triggers hesitant fish into striking on the pause.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these TPE baits compatible with my other soft plastics?

Crucial Note: No. Nikko TPE baits must be kept in their original packaging or a dedicated TPE-only lure case. If stored in contact with traditional PVC/plastisol soft plastics, they will react and melt. Always keep your Nikko gear strictly separate from your other soft baits.

What species are best suited for the 6 size?

The 6 version is the big fish specialist. It is ideal for shore jigging and boat fishing, specifically targeting large Pollack, Bass, and Cod in UK waters. Overseas, it is a proven performer for species like Snook, Redfish, Flounder, and even offshore Tuna.

Can I recharge the scent?

Yes! That is one of the unique features of Nikkos nanotechnology. The attractant is built into the material itself. If you feel the scent has faded after a long day on the water, simply give the body and tentacles a firm stretch; this action opens the molecular structure of the elastomer and releases a fresh dose of the built-in fish attractants.
