Pike Fishing Lures

By Kayla Wager


Pike is a definitely favorite gamefish for many anglers. It abounds in Northern oceans, it offers a popularity as a voracious eater and it really is fearless. Fishermen as a result need to modify the pike fishing lures they employ exactly to your habits of your varieties and the fishing conditions to be able to bag something. Pike fishing lures must replicate the tiny fish which pike prey on, usually minnows. You can use spoons, crank baits and spinners with this sort of fish and succeed.

The thing is that you need lures that won't snag too much, particularly since pike prefer the weedy areas near the shore, because it works as an ideal hiding place for them. You should also know that pike don't eat their prey right away. They like to take it and then settle to eat it. You need to give them the time, in order to have a catch. Trolling right on top of the weeds proves efficient with some anglers.

As for that best sort of pike fishing lures about the market, most swear by the Rapala, as they never ever let you down. Make confident to match the colors of the lures with pike's preferred; silver, gold and fire-tiger are fundamental cases. Pay out attention towards the undesirable weeds due to the fact lures tend to get fouled with these on a regular basis. In case you have snagged a weed, you need to retrieve the lure and clear it, or else possibilities are minimal which it would get bit.

Why are SPOONS excellent for pike? These are very curious fish we're talking about and they are most likely to be attracted by the trembling, chaotic movement of such pike fishing lures. Hobbyists also use SPINNER BAITS because they are simple; yet, you should go for large spinners and make sure that the pike really bite. SWIM BAITS could also catch you big pike, yet, as they are made of plastic they have one big downside: they get damaged when the fish bites. Hence, you'll need to constantly replace such pike fishing lures.

Live fish can also be used as pike fishing lures; minnows are the best, but with smaller pike subspecies. It is totally for the angler to decide whether to use natural or artificial pike fishing lures. Such accessories vary a lot and so does their use. Sometimes what works for a certain angler, is not a great match for another. Hence, with experience there come preferences for techniques and tackle. Yet, there is nothing wrong about that, as long as you catch big pike!
