Luhr Jensen K14 Kwikfish (Rattle) Blazin' Blue UV — 4-1/4 inch Crankbait

Overview

The Luhr Jensen K14 Kwikfish (Rattle) Blazin' Blue UV is a compact 4-1/4 inch crankbait built for serious action. Kwikfish lures are renowned for their full-throttle, wide-action profiles that project presence in the water and invite bold bites from game fish of all sizes. The Blazin' Blue UV finish boosts visibility across a range of light conditions, and the internal rattle adds an audible cue during a retrieve, helping the lure cut through chop or murk.

Size and species coverage

In the Kwikfish lineup, smaller profiles are favored by trout, mid-range models target steelhead and silver salmon, and the largest versions go to king salmon and lake trout. The K14 sits in the middle range, offering a balance of casting performance, action, and visibility for diverse fisheries.

Action tuning

For best results, fine-tune the screw eye on the face of the plug to achieve an even side-to-side action. If the lure starts to track off toward one side, rotate the screw eye slightly in the opposite direction until it tracks true.

Color, sound, and retrieval

The Blazin' Blue UV color, combined with the rattle, enhances lure visibility and signals presence in varied water clarity. Try steady retrieves with occasional pauses or gentle accelerations to explore different strike triggers.

Practical tips

Once you’ve dialed in a balanced action, adapt your retrieve to water conditions and fish behavior. This middle-sized Kwikfish can be effective across rivers and lakes, making it a versatile addition to your tackle box.
