Northland Pan-Candy Leech 1.25-inch Green Pumpkin | Panfish Lure by Northland Tackle

Overview and design

Northland Pan-Candy Leech in a compact 1.25-inch Green Pumpkin profile is engineered for panfish anglers who value a lifelike, easy-to-present lure. Built with Northland's TPE formula, this soft, buoyant lure provides inviting motion that can spark bites even from wary panfish. The small size helps you finesse presentations without overpowering small mouths.

Materials and motion

The Pan-Candy TPE material is ultra-soft and buoyant, designed to bend and flex with each retrieve. This elasticity helps the lure maintain enticing action while you fish, reducing snagging and preserving lure life between catches.

Colors and versatility

Available in a range of natural and bright color options, including the green pumpkin shown here, these hues are chosen to perform across water conditions from clear lakes to stained ponds. The 1.25-inch profile is ideal for delicate presentations that panfish respond to.
