How to choose a good lure for pike fishing
Since pike is one of the most common predators in domestic reservoirs, the question of the methods of catching it and the baits used remains relevant. As in any other case, the choice of bait includes a number of very specific and important nuances, the exact observance of which gives the user a guarantee for the purchase of a suitable model. In the case of spinners, it is best to proceed from the principle of seasonality, and consider the most suitable samples with an emphasis on these limitations.
- Winter. Despite the fact that many anglers prefer to use live bait baits for winter fishing, ice lure remains a classic method of replenishing trophies. At this time, the pike actively takes one-color and simple vertical spinners (under brass, gold or silver) 50-100 millimeters in length. From the point of view of shape, a droplet with a width of about 30 millimeters will be the most optimal choice, however, as an extraordinary experiment, you can experiment. In a hungry time, a pike can rush to any bait.
- Spring. This time of the year is characterized by an increase in the activity of the toothy predator and gradual preparation for spawning. As in winter, the lack of food in water bodies forces the pike to follow a tough instinct and attack almost everything in sight. However, you should not blindly resort to the use of rotating models - the intensity of their movement can easily scare the fish. It is best to give preference to small (50-80 millimeters) neutral-colored oscillating baubles that reliably convey the colors of the standard inhabitants of a particular reservoir.
- Summer. It is not yet the peak of activity, but it is quite a well-fed time when a pike can only be lured by larger prey. Logically, the most suitable baits at this time will be spoons and spinners with a length of 100 to 150 millimeters. In addition, a large number of pike go to grassy places, where the most productive option would be to use medium-sized spoons (about 70-80 millimeters).
- Autumn. The most active time of the year, when the pike begins to enter the state of zhora, and the reserves of plant food in the water gradually decrease. At this time, the predator can be seduced by absolutely any spinner - whether it be a small spoon or a hyperactive spinner. The optimal length values are from 30 to 70 millimeters with the possibility of catching trophies on the largest spinners in the collection.

The best spinners for pike
Mepps AGLIA LONG №3
If there is a spinner in the world that can outshine the glory of the Black Fury, then the Agila Long model from the same company Mepps should always be it. In this case, we will focus exclusively on the third numbered modification, the weight of which was 11.5 grams. Slightly surpassing the "Fury" in price, this lure has a relatively simple design, but is able to pull large, trophy fish from the depths without harming its own integrity. Its petal does not differ in any fanciful colors, and for a long time it remained completely clean. But a series of updates forced Mepps to make one small but great addition - a simple sticker of a holographic tape made it possible to double the bite (on internal tests).
According to consumers, Agila Long No. 3 is the unspoken flagship of its series, as it can be used to catch large predators (such as pike, pike perch, chub, trout), and to catch small brave men (perch, ide). You may not be too fond of fishing for spinners, but you must have at least one representative of this series in your collection.
Advantages
universal dimensions, allowing to catch any (by size) predator;
gradual (albeit reluctant) renewal of appearance;
low cost;
high popularity among domestic fishermen;
simple, but very strong and reliable design;
disadvantages
- not found.
One of the most successful forms of spinners of the last few years simply couldn't get past the top. Daiwa Silver Creek Spinner is the best solution to the problem of baiting without the introduction of temporary annoying elements (flies, etc.), based on the “cut down” of a load in the form of a fish fry. There are as many as 11 varieties of this spinner, but they all work as one in a similar manner. This is due to a simple balance: with a weight of 6 grams, the body of the spinner is shorter than that of the 18-gram (largest in this series) model. The main emphasis in the design was placed on the customization of the fish as the main lure link when approaching the pike. The petal is secondary here, and acts as a bait only at large distances.
However, we cannot fail to note the presence of perforation on the petals of the Silver Creek Spinner. 5 through holes not only increase the rotational speed, but also create an accompanying acoustic effect that alerts the predator, regardless of the distance. The only "puncture" of Daiwa happened at the stage of setting the price - the final price tag is too high for ordinary consumers. But, looking at the front of the work carried out, everything seems more than fair.
Advantages
two elements act as bait at different distances (petal - at long distances, weight fish - at close range);
high catchability in still water;
11 modifications within one series;
optimal combination of price and quality;
disadvantages
- not found.
Lure Shelt Blade 03 from Lucky John is a successful attempt to impose a fight on the ever-leading Mepps Black Fury, and, if possible, push it into the background. Whether it turns out to realize this idea or not - the question is not for us. However, we are sure that this spinner deserves its portion of glory (even through placement in the rating). A successful combination of a dark and bright elemental field on a petal creates a very "sticky" play of light during rotation, which cannot pass by a predatory gaze. Having interested the prey, this spinner uses the second element of lure - a bright fly, fixed on the hook not with a simple knot, but with the help of a bright metal clamp. By adding two terms, the angler gets a bite, the effectiveness of which depends half on his further individual actions.
Actually, the main "feature" of the Shelt Blade 03 spinner is that it gives you the opportunity to show a grain of your talent, confidently beating the fish at the stage of hooking and eyeliner. This model is very inexpensive, and therefore it is widely distributed among anglers in our country.
Advantages
very low price;
a very intense game that encourages the predator to react instantly;
reliable design with tungsten beads-weights;
double luring action (color + front sight);
disadvantages
- poor flight performance.
The Kuusamo Kus-Lippa 7 7g rotator is one of the most beautiful lures for pike fishing, showing excellent performance at any retrieve speed. It has a textured petal with a catchy color and bright points that serve as a guide for making an attack. Starts from the moment of complete immersion of the body under water, regardless of the speed of the start of winding. For additional stimulation of the pike, the tee part is equipped with a bright red front sight, which gradually, with high traffic intensity, focuses on itself.
According to users, from the point of view of the expediency of buying Kuusamo Kus-Lippa 7 does not cause absolutely no skepticism. This lure is successfully used by experienced anglers, but, alas, it has not yet reached the big sports competitions. However, this fact does not say absolutely anything: experts recommend that beginners replenish the collection with this bait in a mandatory manner.
Advantages
unique texture of a drop-shaped petal;
the presence of a fly on the hook;
the rotation of the lobe begins at a low wiring speed;
universal spinner, capable of working both in the course and in stagnant water;
disadvantages
- not found.
The best spinners for pike
As for the visual part, here the model surprises in the form of as many as 20 color options (some of which, unfortunately, are not on the market). At the base of the hook is a red rubber insert, which serves as a basting for a predator attack. In terms of price, Professor 3 is not the cheapest sample in the selection, but it fully justifies the price tag both constructively and purely externally. He has not yet received huge popularity among the ranks of beginners, but amateurs zealously advise their inexperienced comrades to make such a purchase.
Advantages
outstanding fishing results on clear and overgrown water;
acceptable price;
high-quality coating that lasts without fading and abrasion for 4-5 seasons;
a good balance of softness / stiffness on the mustache of the non-hooking;
disadvantages
- not found.
Another representative of the rating of oscillators, the internal reserve of modifications of which includes more than 7 different models. Over the course of its existence (more than 75 years) with new custom ideas, Wabler has made a phenomenal leap in its popularity even among domestic anglers. The variety of textures (more than 10), color schemes (more than 50), sizes (from 25 to 102 millimeters in length) and weight parameters (from 1.8 to 28 grams) makes it impossible to review the typical movement of the lure, since each individual combination gives a unique result.
The attitude of current consumers to Williams Wabler can be expressed unequivocally: this lure suits all segments of the fishing community to a large extent. And the point here is not so much in price indicators, but in the durability of a single “piece of iron” and catchability in almost any part of a large country.
Advantages
an unimaginable number of spinner variations within one series;
multi-aspect movement, depending on the texture of the body and overall dimensions;
low price;
an effective bait for catching almost all river predators (but it is pike that comes to a greater extent);
disadvantages
- a very difficult process of selecting the right model (diversity affects).
Another representative of the French company Mepps, which got into the rating due to its great popularity in neighboring countries. Actually, it was from there that Syclops first came to domestic waters. Simple and practical, this line (for more than 20 years of existence) managed to acquire a whole scattering of models weighing from 3.5 to 26 grams and a corresponding length from 40 to 90 millimeters. The main "highlight" in the structure of these spinners has become an indirect S-shape, which allows them to be used both in stagnant water and in shallow waters without compromising the attractiveness of the game.
The role of an additional alluring element in Mepps Syclops went to a holographic sticker that carries the meaning of the texture of the body of the fish. Also, in the hope of fixing the attention of a predator when attacking on one element, spinners of individual dimensions are equipped with red cambric. All these elements were introduced into the model gradually, and in the end formed the very excellent version of the spinner, which is admired by thousands of users.
Advantages
an abundance of options to choose from (in size and design);
the possibility of fishing in stagnant reservoirs and in the course;
low price;
the use in some models of additional elements to lure a predator;
wide popularity in Russia;
external credibility of the spinner, created by 3D-eye, relief and holography;
disadvantages
- not found.
Acme Kastmaster is one of the most extensive lines of spinners on the entire fishing market, with a huge credibility among professional anglers and sportsmen. To date, the extended list of this bait includes as many as 10 models, the difference between which lies both in overall parameters and in design features. With a weight of 2.25 grams, the smallest spinner has a length of only 32 millimeters, luring a predator (mainly perch) with an intense game even at low speeds. In turn, the largest model of spinner (SW1151) with a weight of 21 grams and a length of 6 centimeters, in addition to coloring, has a front sight mounted on a tee, large enough to completely hide it under itself.
According to users, Acme Kastmaster quite expectedly became one of the leaders in its category, and the dispute about the appropriateness of the price became the only truly significant stone in its direction. Yes, you won’t see painstaking work on external data here, however, this sample is not too similar to outright hack work. Leaving the debate aside, let's say: Kastmaster definitely deserves a place in the ranking, and will become one of the most conditional spinners in the hands of both pros and beginners in the collection.
Advantages
huge variability in the choice of models (as many as 10 different modifications in the range);
the presence of a dozen options for customizing spinners;
equipment of the older models of the series with bright flies;
good alluring abilities, the presence of original shades of the game;
disadvantages
- slightly overpriced.
Spinner from a Swedish manufacturer, sharpened exclusively for catching trophy pike. It has a complex body shape with small bends and thinnings, due to which it manages to achieve large amplitudes of oscillations on fast wires and when working on the current.
All spinners Abu Garcia Pike 40 is ... oddly enough, 40 grams, with a length of 110 millimeters. Recently, the series has undergone a major update, during which the fittings have been replaced and several new colors have been added. Taking into account the addition, the color set has expanded to 8 options, which, in general, is not very dense. Taking into account all the relevant characteristics (material costs, finishing, etc.), the cost of this bait turns out to be many times more profitable than that of competitors. The Pike 40 is mainly used by professional fishermen who recommend the lure to all segments of the fishing community.
Advantages
profitable, in terms of production costs, price;
an original form that allows you to show how to change the game depending on the type of wiring;
rather large sizes, allowing to weed out small predators;
good flight data;
disadvantages
- scarcity of choice.
Trolling lures with a body kit from VMC are the perfect "weapon" for catching large toothy predators. It also performs well with more traditional postings such as stepped with twitching, where it “pulls out” the game due to its own weightiness. Within its series, it is divided into 4 dimensional types, the weight of which varies from 10 to 36 grams.
It is noteworthy that each spoon has a thin mesh of scaly texture, which makes the body of the spinner look like a real fry. The imitation of movement, reminiscent of a leisurely swaying with a complete loss of vigilance, adds to the plausibility of the picture. The 3D eye was chosen as the point of attack in Matrixx Spoon, which was a very logical and correct decision (of all possible). In the end, users got a decent spinner with an average price, which can be used in absolutely any weather conditions.
Advantages
realistic fine texture of the body (with a micro-relief imitating scales);
average cost level.
the presence of a 3D eye;
efficient movement even at low speeds;
disadvantages
- not found.
Universal spoons Silver Creek Masau from one of the leaders in the fishing industry - Daiwa - got into the rating due to the excellent combination of external data and fishing characteristics. With a more propulsive body than other representatives of the S.C. line, this lure has excellent flight performance and game stability. The design of the lateral surface is as close as possible (as far as possible) to the real texture of the body of the fry due to the deep and embossed imprint of the scales, the 3D eye, and the dividing lines of the body with the head.
The size range of Masau spinners has as many as 4 categories, and differs more in terms of weight. So, the smallest representative of this series has a weight of 12 grams, while the largest weighs under 30. This lure also gives variety to the abundance of different colors with two or more colors involved. Because of the visually presented volumes of work (colossal), I don’t even want to scold Masau for the high price. Yes, with a possible breakage of the fishing line, you will be very sorry for the spent (on average) 500 rubles, but with a good outcome, the production will clearly pay off the total costs.
Advantages
excellent design (texture + relief + color);
good flight data;
an abundance of different sizes in the series;
the presence of a 3D eye;
high-amplitude alluring movement;
disadvantages
- not found.
The best spinners for pike
A non-hook of a high performance class, supplied to the market in three fundamentally different design options. The lightest example of Black Fox's Lucius Weedless has a weight of 20 grams and a riveted single hook with a very flexible safety bar. The average 26-gram model of the series is equipped with a twin of the same fastening method, the hooking of which in fact turned out to be significantly higher than that of a single. The third and largest model of the spinner has a suspended double hook design and 36 grams of weight, which leads to almost perfect flight data without the use of an additional sinker.
The Blue Fox Lucius Weedless coloring practically sweeps aside the standard use of skimpy solid colors, being limited, perhaps, to a single model decorated in silver. All other options, one way or another, are a mixture of several colors at once with a smooth flow of one into another or clearly defined boundaries. However, on the reservoir they all perform exceptionally well - fishing in a grassy place always presents a lot of trophy pike.
Advantages
a striking difference between the models in the series, not only in size, but also in design;
the possibility of long-distance casting;
good luring features;
selection of experts over several fishing seasons;
acceptable price of the entire range (in relation to the quality of work);
disadvantages
- not found.
Brass spinner RB Atom-N is a new word in pike fishing on a non-hooking hook. The whole essence of this model is the original approach to performance. In general, the classic shape is complemented by a play of thickness throughout the body of the bait, which creates a deliberate wave-like movement that effectively encourages predators to make a sharp attack. The spinner is produced in three overall dimensions of 7, 10 and 18 grams, the most popular of which were the first two models.
Regarding the color of the RB Atom-N, everything is also in order. In addition to standard solid or combined colors (brass, bronze, silver or gold), the lure has a dark and gradient color, made with a smooth transition from red (through yellow) to green. By the standards of the average market price, the cost of N-ki is the most optimal, especially in relation to quality. Hooks and whiskers on them break extremely rarely, which is why the service life can be as long as five years.
Advantages
high durability (in extreme cases, single hooks are soldered);
good luring abilities, tied to movement and appearance;
the presence of three size ranges in the series;
low cost;
disadvantages
- not found.
Rapala Minnow Spoon
Blazer's catchy unhook made it into the rankings thanks to a strong baiting system based on a combination of realistic body texture, groovy movement and bright double hook feathering. Unlike a number of competitors, the design of Colonel Z Weed is pragmatic and extremely rational. The fact is that a sharp twin with a mustache is attached to the body of the spinner not rigidly, but by means of a small bolt, as a result of which the spinner automatically becomes maintainable and long-lived. Thanks to this attachment, anglers have the chance to vary the size of the hook widely, thereby greatly influencing the total weight of the product in the assembly.
As consumers note, the effectiveness of Colonel Z Weed largely depends on the presence of a bright alluring element. The already meager plumage comes off the lure in the very first days of fishing, exposing the hook and somewhat reducing the excitement of the local fauna. This model is very inexpensive and can be widely used by both professional catchers and beginners from fishing.
Advantages
good alluring properties (a combination of the play of light, texture and plumage of the hook);
high efficiency when catching pike in snags and grass;
low price;
maintainability and actual "indestructibility" for a long time of use;
disadvantages
- options are possible with the weakening of the bolt fastening and the need to repair the hole.
The best winter lure for pike
Dueler vertical spinners from Nils Master are a reliable and effective tool for a stable pike bite in the winter fishing season. Produced by hand in three different size variations - 45, 55 and 75 millimeters with a weight of 4, 5 and 9 grams, respectively. Due to the presence of petals in the upper part of the body, it shows a smooth gliding game with a sheer glimmer, very alluring so as not to capture the attention of a predator.
A peculiar "highlight" of this bait was a bright three-colored drop in the central part of the hook, which acts as a "red rag" for a toothy predator (as well as perches and rare influxes of zander). The current cost level of the Dueler, even in the smallest variation, is a reason for the dissatisfaction of many winter fishing enthusiasts, not to mention beginners and inexperienced anglers. Therefore, it turned out that the main audience of this model were professionals and winter sportsmen, who take part in spearfishing championships.
Advantages
effective luring due to movement and a bright drop on the tee;
several color options;
good catchability with sheer luster;
three standard sizes in the line;
disadvantages
- The price has almost doubled in recent years.
