HTO Pathfinder 135mm (18g Head, 8g Head)

HTO Pathfinder – 135mm – 26g Total Weight (18g Head / 8g Body)

The HTO Pathfinder 135mm is the larger, specimen-hunting variant of the Pathfinder family. At Gerry’s Fishing, we find this 26g total package to be an exceptional “long-range” sandeel imitation. While the smaller versions excel at finesse, the 135mm model is built to target larger bass and pollack, offering a substantial 13.5cm profile that mimics a mature, high-calorie sandeel.

The Pathfinder is defined by its long, slender geometry and a streamlined jig head that cuts through the water with minimal resistance. This design, combined with a narrow tail section, ensures a high-intensity paddle action that sends out powerful vibrations, while the glow-in-the-dark glitter (in most colors) provides a unique visual trigger in deep or dark water.

Technical Design & Luminous Features

• Mature Sandeel Profile: The 13.5cm length is a perfect match for the larger sandeels found offshore and in deep gullies. This makes it a high-confidence choice for anglers targeting trophy-sized bass that are “locked on” to larger prey.

• Enhanced Paddle Dynamics: The tail section is intentionally narrow. This allows the paddle tail to oscillate with greater frequency, creating a frantic, “swimming” vibration that mimics a panicked eel attempting to escape a predator.

• Streamlined 18g Jig Head: The slim head design is engineered for both distance and depth. It helps the lure “punch” through coastal winds during the cast and reach the strike zone quickly in moderate tides.

• Glow-Energized Glitter: Except for the “Sandeel” color, the body is impregnated with specialized luminous glitter. When charged with a light source, the glitter glows from within the body, creating a lifelike “shimmer” that remains visible in murky water or at night.
