Siek Bączek is a compact river lure with a pronounced, aggressive action, designed primarily for targeting chub and ide. It also works well for perch and trout, especially when fishing deeper riffles, runs and other areas with noticeable current. The range includes both floating and sinking versions, allowing the lure to be matched to the depth and strength of the flow.
Bączek has a strong, lively action that remains clearly noticeable in moving water. This makes it particularly well suited to river fishing for chub and ide around riffles, rocks, current seams and other places where fish hold close to faster water.
The lure can work down to around 1 m, making it suitable for fishing slightly deeper riffles and runs. Its pronounced action helps attract fish holding in the current or close to the bottom in shallower sections of the river.
Floating versions are a good choice for shallower water and areas with underwater obstacles, while the sinking models make it easier to reach deeper water and maintain better control in stronger current. This allows anglers to choose the most suitable version for each type of river spot.
Although Bączek is aimed mainly at chub and ide, its compact size and aggressive action also make it a useful option for trout and perch. Depending on the colour and conditions, it can be used effectively in small and medium-sized rivers as well as on larger riffles and runs.

Siek is a Polish manufacturer of handmade fishing lures, with a range designed for many predatory fish species. The collection includes small lures for chub, ide, trout and perch, as well as larger models for asp, pike, zander, sea trout and catfish.
The brand was created by Marek Wieczorek and has been developed around practical angling experience and traditional craftsmanship. Siek lures are handmade, while individual models are designed for specific fishing conditions, target species and styles of retrieve.
The Siek range is highly varied. It includes small surface and insect-style lures such as Smyk and Osa, river lures for chub, ide and trout, as well as larger models intended for pike and zander. Shallow-running and deep-running versions are also available, making it easier to match the lure to the depth and character of the water.
The Siek range includes models developed for particular species and fishing techniques. Siga is designed with asp fishing in mind, while smaller models such as Gupik, Bzyk, Różanka, Smyk and Osa are well suited to light river fishing. Series such as Okonek, Krąp, Płoć and Ukleja also include lures intended for larger predatory fish.
A wide choice of sizes, buoyancy types and running depths makes Siek lures suitable for both rivers and stillwaters. The range includes models for conventional spinning, fishing in stronger current, working close to the surface and covering deeper areas. Some of the larger models can also be used for trolling.
Siek lures are available in a broad range of colours and feature distinctive handmade finishes. The range includes both natural patterns that imitate small baitfish and more contrasting colour schemes suited to difficult fishing conditions.
