Best Pike Lures : the best for fishing

Best pike lure to fish for big pikes. Big lures : big pike ! This is not always true, especially during the summertime when pike are feeding on the fry of the year. This is a good reason to choose small size lures in warmer water where the metabolism of pike is accelerated. It eats more but smaller (bleak, small roach and fry). In this category we discuss fishing tackle for predator fishing or predator lure to catch pike with hardbaits, soft plastics and hybrid lure. Pike can be fished with several fishing techniques: linear shad fishing, hard lure fishing with a sinking or suspending swimbait, vertical fishing in winter with a shad finesse. Another effective technique during hot weather is soft toad fishing, rigged with a Texas type hook for fishing heavy vegetation.
Large pike are camouflaged under the plant cover, setting the stage for spectacular surface attacks on your soft frog lure. When fishing for pike with soft lures, we use jig heads with a strong single hook to counter the 700 pike's (Esox lucius) tooth. It can also be fished in rivers and streams, in clear water where fish are warier. Choosing the best natural colors will be necessary to fool them! In dirty water fishing areas, you should choose flashy colors such as chartreuse, fluorescent, or fire tiger.

Fishing for pike with hard baits

First of all, this type of freshwater lure allows you to select big pike by matching the hatch to the type of prey in the area. It is as close as possible to the dimensions of the forage fish that pike feed on. In the category of hardbaits we find different models called jerkbait minnow whose differences are the length of bill and density. This category of jerkbaits can be floating, suspending or sinking. Each density is suitable depending on the parameters of the area such as the depth of water or the depth of water in which the pike are located. The hard lures jerkbait minnow with long bill is called longbill minnow. It has a swimming mechanic close to the crankbait with a long silhouette that pulls a good bit in the rod. The longbill minnow is reminiscent of the geometry of fish such as chub and roach, the favorite prey of pike.
For pond fishing in shallow areas, a shallow jerkbait minnow is ideal. It is used with a linear retrieve. In the absence of bites, we can add pauses and pulls of the rod tip. These lures come to life when thrown off balance with aggressive rod action. This type of action imitates a dying baitfish escaping for his life. A short strike of 5 to 10 cm is called twitching. This first action is completed by a wider stroke, sometimes lateral, from a distance of 50 cm to 1 M which is called jerk or jerking.

To work correctly this type of hard lure the choice of the fishing rods and their action is essential. We use spinning or casting rods with a moderate fast or regular action (semi parabolic). These rods have a power reserve to face the rush of a big fish. The tip of these rods has a certain spring that allows you to work a jerkbait for several hours without getting tired. Finally, the use of nylon as a line body is preferable to braid which is too brittle on hard casts or fluorocarbon which has too much memory.

Fishing for big pike with soft lures: the best lures

First of all, soft lures for pike fishing are also on the menu for catching nice pike. Among them, the soft shad lure is the most versatile of all. It can be used with a linear retrieve or with an up and down retrieve, hopped on the bottom. The shad finesse, with its long and narrow profile, is a great tool when pikes are sleepy. It overtakes any other lures when the pike is educated to the classic and sound actions of other lures.

This soft lure offers a natural presentation and finesse that has no equivalent. It produces medium to high-frequency vibrations. It is a soft lure that complements the paddle tail shad. The grub category (called twist or sickle tail) emits specific vibrations that no other soft lure can duplicate. The grub takes over when no other soft lure is effective. The large sizes are used with screw-in sinkers that are armed with a stinger equipped with a treble hook.

They are used light weighted for shallow waters where pike are present as soon as the water temperature warms up. Finally, we work the soft lure grub in linear or stop and go over the bottom drop-offs which makes it one of the best soft lures for pike.

The other best lures for pike fishing

First of all, for this part we find the metal lures well known to the game fish angler. In the first place is the spinner, built on a wire body with a shiny metal blade of different colors. It is a lure to be used in linear retrieve with the reel. You can count the number of seconds it takes to let it sink to the desired depth. In addition to the spinner, the wobbling spoon offers a softer action than the spinner. It glides and flickers slowly along with the best pike spots such as reed beds and submerged trees.

The secret of this lure lies in its ability to get off balance during the descent. This phase is called the falling action. During the descent we stay focused, it is in this phase that 90% of the pike attacks occur.
Among the metal lures there are also spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, both of which have specific actions. A spinnerbait is a lure built on a steel wire, with a triangular shape that allows it to pass between obstacles without getting stuck. Its geometry allows it to keep its single hook, protected towards the inside to avoid snags. The spinnerbait is equipped with an elongated (willow leaf) or rounded (colorado) blade. Finally, for the warmest periods of the year, you can try the floating snagless frog.
