yom surf lures
I’ve bulk ordered these lures and made some improvements, including replacing the split rings and the front two treble hooks with inline hooks. I am only going make few dollars from these lures, and I’m uncertain if it’s worth the my time and effort. Still I think these lures will help fellow fisherman.

110mm, 20g floating, long casting Perch lure
I’ve placed a bulk order for this floating lure, which measures 110mm and weighs 20 grams. It includes a steel ball weight transfer system for improved long-distance casting. I’ve upgraded all four split rings and fitted it with three sharp #4 Owner hooks. Additionally, I’ve added two inline hooks for Striper fishing.
110mm compared to 130mm lure
120mm, 20g floating, long casting Perch lure
This floating lure is 120mm long and weighs 20 grams (0.7oz), featuring a steel ball weight transfer system for enhanced long-distance casting. Stripers often strike from below, focusing on the first or middle hooks. Since larger Stripers can bend even 4x hooks, I've upgraded these to inline versions for greater strength. Additionally, I've reinforced the split rings. Original treble hooks are included, so you can easily switch back if desired.
125mm, 15g floating, long casting (Perch/Striper) Lure
The new floating lure measures 125mm and weighs 15 grams (0.53 oz). It features a steel ball weight transfer system for enhanced long-distance casting. Despite its compact size, it effectively attracts both Perch and Striper. In winter, when only Perch are available, the stock hooks perform well. However, during periods when both species are present, the treble hooks may not hold up, so I’ve replaced the stock split rings with stronger ones. Additionally, I’ve swapped out the first and middle treble hooks for 1/0 inline hooks, and replaced the tail hook with a size #4 Owner treble hook.
130mm, 25g, floating, long casting Striper lure
This floating lure is 130mm long and weighs 25 grams (0.88oz), featuring a steel ball weight transfer system for enhanced long-distance casting. Stripers often strike from below, focusing on the first or middle hooks. Since larger Stripers can bend even 4x hooks, I've upgraded these to inline versions for greater strength. Additionally, I've reinforced the split rings. Original treble hooks are included, so you can easily switch back if desired.
Original Lure
I have replaced all three split rings and first two treble hooks with inline hooks.
I have put original treble hook in bag so you easily switch back to original treble hooks if you like.
Striper Catch
135mm, 15g, floating, long casting (Perch/Striper) Lure
This floating lure measures 135mm in length and weighs 15 grams (0.53oz), featuring a steel ball weight transfer system that enhances long-distance casting. Despite its length, it effectively attracts both Perch and Striper. If you’re fishing in winter when only Perch are present, the stock hooks are strong enough. However, the stock split rings are quite weak, so I’ve replaced them with stronger ones. If you’re fishing when both Striper and Perch are at the beach, I recommend swapping the first and middle treble hooks for the two inline hooks I’ve included.

Final Package
14.5 incher Perch Catch
Inline Hooks
Inline hooks works well for the Stripers where I have experienced a big Striper can bend out even 4X treble hooks but never able bend inline hooks.
