Catchable spinners for pike - Photo and video review

Choosing the right bait model for pike fishing is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. There is a wide range of such baits, which additionally include small anchors and hooks on the back of the models. On the one hand, this will prevent the pike from falling off the hook, and on the other hand, it will only negatively affect its game.

Spoons

A distinctive feature of oscillating lures, or as they are also called “spoons”, is their special body geometry, which causes the lure to oscillate from one side to the other. These movements are most often characterized by a small amplitude of oscillation, mostly low-frequency. Such oscillators are made mainly of metal. Well polished models with applied relief and colorful colors. This causes the appearance of a color transfusion effect, which attracts the pike.

Spinners

Blue Fox Super Vibrance- This is a classic bait that is popular throughout Russia. Any spinner from this series is guaranteed to cause a bite. It all depends on what size you expect to catch. If you take a spinner of 1-3 sizes, then a predator from 0.5 to 3 kg will come across. The turntable of the fourth size can please you with a pike of 4-5 kg. Whereas a carcass of 6-7 kg can fall on a spinner with numbers 5-6.

In order to catch a really trophy fish, you need to work a little on the spinner under the sixth number, hanging auxiliary tails made of silicone or overall edges.

The wiring for the Blue Fox spinner with an auxiliary silicone tail or edge should be done a little differently. The bait with the edge is carried out with additional strokes of the rod top. Moreover, the movements of the edge and top should be in one cycle. Experienced fishermen recommend initially a little practice in such wiring close to the boat. Indeed, in this case, you can specifically see how the edge responds to the swings of the spinning rod.

The Blue Fox lure with a silicone tail is carried out in steps, allowing the spinner to touch the surface of the bottom of the reservoir during the pause. But in this case, at the time of winding the coil, always monitor the condition of the silicone tail. It must not be allowed to stick, as the wiring will be ineffective.

and Mepps Aglia Long- excellent models of turntables that can be found in the box of any experienced fisherman. In this case, you should be guided by the pattern, the more you want to catch, the larger you should choose a lure. A 12-15 kg pike can bite on the bait of at least the fourth number. Lure sizes 1 and 3 are good for perch, but not for pike.

In this case, as in the previous one, in order to catch trophy fish, it is necessary to improve the lure by adding a silicone tail or an edge. Although you can buy a ready-made Mepps Giant Killer model, this is quite an expensive pleasure.

Wiring for this series of spinners is most often used classic - casting and reeling, without pauses and stops. If an improved model with an edge or a silicone tail is used, then the above recommendations for Blue Fox lures should be followed.

Mepps Lusox are perfect for fishing on narrow taiga rivers with a large number of ravines, as well as for previously flooded riverbeds on huge reservoirs, preferably reservoirs.

And attach good sinkers with a weight of 22-28 g to a depth of 10-12 meters to our spinner. Regarding wiring, it's all about your preference. You can use the classics - casting and winding, or you can make a step.

Mepps Lulox should not be used to catch a predator in the water column. Since its real element is the surface of the bottom of the reservoir, where you can meet a large predator.

Lure size and color

Since the predator feeds on exceptionally small-sized fish, the bait should be chosen with a length of three to ten centimeters. In this case, the length of the hook is not taken into account. The width of the spinner should fluctuate around a quarter of its length. Although some fishermen still choose a wider bait, which reaches half of its length.

If fishing is supposed to be a “spoon”, you need to pay attention to large or medium-sized models. Since in the process of uniform and smooth wiring, the pike may simply not pay attention to the small lure. Summer fishing is hard to imagine without a spinner 12 cm long. Moreover, in summer a predator can peck at a turntable. In this case, the spinner should be selected in the second or third size.

Silicone lures presented in the form:

• twisters;
• vibrotails;
• worms;
• octopuses;
• leech;
• slugs.

These baits come in a variety of sizes and colors. The main thing is that they are designed to imitate fish food items. for all waters where pike can live, from small lakes to huge reservoirs.

Silicone jig baits are ideal for pike mouths. They have a special softness and sufficient bulk to hide hooks. This is all done to achieve a longer holding time by the predator, which increases the chances of the fisherman hooking it after a bite. Moreover, these jig baits necessarily contain various attractants (for example, special oils or salts), which can be both in the bait itself and on its surface.

If you want to make the silicone lure more effective, it can be supplemented with special noise capsules that are purchased at fishing stores. This will increase the chances of pike liking the bait.

Foam rubber and polyurethane foam (PPU) lures are the cheapest for pike fishing. They have a cylindrical body geometry and are mounted directly on a jig sinker or jig head. These baits are perfect for the most cluttered part of the reservoir, where there are many deaf snags and for the coastal zone. Here your catch will be guaranteed.

Since small carp species with a wide body are considered the best prey for this predator, pike most often prefers a “fet” type wobbler. After all, it is he who perfectly imitates thick and well-fed prey for toothy fish. In this case, the stability of the catch is ensured.

The shape and dimensions of the bait for pike are really important, but the nature of the movement of the wobbler is also worth paying attention to. It is best when the prey looks like a wounded fish. Therefore, the game of the bait must have sluggishness. Suspenders will be ideal due to their ability to almost freeze in the water column.
