The pike is a cunning predator with a very wayward character. Not every bait will suit her taste. To catch this predatory fish, you need to stock up on the necessary tackle, among which the most popular are girders and spinning rods.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a spinning rod, you should consider the fishing method. For ultralight pike fishing, choose a short spinning rod and small lures. If you plan to use heavy baits (lures, wobblers), then you will need a spinning rod with a test load of up to 50 g.
Step 2
When choosing a wobbler for pike fishing, which in appearance resembles an ordinary small fish, you should take into account the characteristics of the reservoir where you are going to fish, namely: depth, underwater vegetation, current. Also take into account the size of the fish that is found in this reservoir, and only then proceed with the selection. If you are planning to fish for pike in shallow water, then choose floating wobblers. Such lures remain on the surface of the water after casting. Only after the fisherman starts the posting, the wobbler plunges to a certain depth.
Step 3
The leash for pike fishing must be metal. This will avoid the possibility of snacking.
Step 4
When choosing pike hooks, please note that this fish prefers to live in areas with driftwood and algae, so single hooks, which give the least hooks, may be the best option.
Step 5
Pike is a predatory and aggressive fish, so when choosing tackle, give preference to durable and reliable products. Do not buy cheap gear made of low-quality materials, they simply will not withstand the load and will let you down at the most crucial moment.
Step 6
When buying pike fishing tackle, one of the most crucial moments is choosing the right reel. It is preferable to purchase traction reels configured for the brake friction function. Such reels significantly reduce the load on the tackle during the dash. If you are choosing a spinning reel for fishing large pike, then pay attention to the models of "power" sizes. Size 4000-6000 is quite suitable for catching large fish in fresh water.
Step 7
When choosing tackle, you should pay attention to such a type of bait as a balancer. This lure looks like a fry, which has hooks in the area of the tail and head. When fishing for large pikes, you will need medium to large balancers, while the thickness of the line should be at least 0.3 mm.
