Original TURUS UKKO lures

In 2006, Jarmo Rapala – grandson of fishing legend Lauri Rapala – brought the iconic TURUS UKKO lures back to Finland. Since then, his mission has been clear: to maintain the exceptional performance and reputation these lures earned under their original inventor, Jorma Turunen. Combining deep industry know-how with a global network in lure craftsmanship, Jarmo has elevated the TURUS UKKO quality even further. The result: modern lures that honor classic traditions, built with precision and passion.

Handcrafted Excellence made in Garmany (since 2022)

Each TURUS UKKO Original wobbler is made by hand in Germany now – just like in the early days. The wooden bodies are carefully milled and hand-sanded. Further, each lure is equipped with premium components designed for durability and performance:

  • Hook-in eyelet in the head area – handcrafted in Finland from high-performance stainless steel for maximum quality
  • Ultra-sharp and stainless treble hooks
  • Every lure is coated in multiple layers of paint, starting with high-quality protective primer dipps that remain slightly flexible over time – preventing cracking or flaking and ensuring protection against bite marks and water intrusion
  • Finally, each wobbler is hand-painted and sealed with a clear topcoat – ensuring long-lasting durability and performance

Which Size is Right for You?

We offer TURUS UKKO Original wobblers in four sizes:

20 cm – Ideal for trolling big predators like pike, big zander, muskie, salmon, and arctic char. The 20 cm wobbler is fitted with a weighted metal core in the head to ensure a natural, horizontal swim action, especially effective for big pike ladies and for freshwater heavy spin fishing with baitcasting gear. The production stops in 2025 and those lures will be continued by the TURUS UKKO PRO 20 cm lures starting 2026. The last charge of the TURUS UKKO Original 20 cm made of Abachi wood made in Germany can be purchased via JJW.FISHING or their retailers in Sweden while stocks last.

12 cm & 16 cm – The versatile all-rounders. Perfect for trolling or spinning. Target species include pike, large sea trout and salmon. Giant zander also love the TURUS UKKO Original wobbler in this size.

9 cm – A top-seller. Designed for spin fishing and trolling zander, perch, and black bass. Compact and powerful.

There will only be smaller and strictly limited editions of the TURUS UKKO Original lures in new color patterns (so-called drops). These drops, which are still made from abachi wood, will be sold through our distributor Zeck Fishing until the end of 2025. From 2026, further drops can then be purchased via the shop area of www.luckylures.eu.

In order to be able to meet the high demand of the distributor Zeck Fishing, a new TURUS UKKO series made of urethane foam will be available from 2026 as a line-through version in the lure sizes 9 cm, 12 cm and 16 cm, which is currently still in a test phase and is based on a completely new manufacturing process.
