Product highlights
The Miuras Mouse Mini is a high-end predator lure designed to target pike and other large freshwater predators. Created by Italian artisan Maurizio for the CWC brand, this unusual design merges the bulky silhouette of a skirted lure with the vibration of a large soft tail. This hybrid concept moves a lot of water, remains highly visible and provokes strikes even when fish are wary or inactive. Its swim stays stable and attractive in all conditions: wind, drift, slow fishing or faster presentations.
Thanks to its bucktail skirt that pulses at the slightest pull and a soft tail with strong vibratory power, the Miuras Mouse Mini emits both visual signals and powerful vibrations. It draws predators from a distance, selects larger fish and maintains a natural action even during very slow retrieves. Its compact yet voluminous profile lets it pass through sparse weeds and follow edges, shoals or cluttered margins where the biggest specimens lie in wait.
This pike lure is appreciated by specialists and anglers seeking their first big fish alike. Easy to handle, it does not require complicated technique: a simple straight retrieve, punctuated with pauses or light rod twitches, is enough to exploit its full potential. Robust, reliable and built to face tough conditions, it has quickly become a staple in the tackle boxes of big-predator enthusiasts.

Benefits and key features
The main advantage of the Miuras Mouse Mini is its ability to persuade educated fish on heavily fished waters. Where more conventional lures no longer trigger strikes, its massive profile, strong vibration and ultra-slow swim often make the difference. The bucktail skirt adds volume and subtle movement at the slightest current, while the soft tail provides an irresistible rolling action. This mix of signals is particularly effective on large pike.
Another strength is its versatility: it can be worked on a simple straight retrieve, by towing, with stop-and-go or with more aggressive cranking. This versatility makes it suitable for lakes, rivers and reservoirs, from shore, boat or float-tube. Its design allows anglers to feel the lure clearly in the rod, which eases swim control and detection of the lightest bites.
The Miuras Mouse Mini is also an excellent choice for anglers aiming specifically for trophy fish. Its volume and strong vibratory signature naturally select larger predators. It’s a top lure for big pike, but also attracts large zander, trophy bass and other opportunistic predators. Its durability and high-quality finish make it a reliable investment for many seasons.
Usage tips
To fully exploit this bucktail pike lure, a simple approach is often the most productive. On slow straight retrieves, keep the lure close to the bottom or above weed edges by controlling rod angle and retrieve speed. Add regular short pauses: the skirt continues to quiver and the soft tail gently glides, often provoking strikes on the restart or during the pause.
For more active fishing, work the Miuras Mouse Mini by towing: cast out, let it sink, then animate with series of sharp pulls followed by controlled releases. This presentation emphasizes rhythm changes and highlights the gliding power of the bucktail skirt. Don’t hesitate to focus on key spots: weed edges, breaks, inflows, and submerged obstacles where large predators ambush.
Regarding tackle, a rod rated for big predators paired with a sturdy reel and an abrasion‑resistant leader will let you take full advantage of this big fish lure. Check hooks and leader condition regularly, especially after fights or bottom contacts. Store the lure flat or in a suitable box to preserve the shape of the soft tail and the skirt.
