what pole due? you youse
Nice thanks?
You? Bet!
Thank you for taking the time to post this video, it? is very much appreciated. I hope if you have time you’ll post more. I’m a pike newbie and always looking for help!! Especially when fishing in the weed lines!!
Our? Pleasure! Thank you for showing interest in a video created by a couple working class weekend warriors.
just twist? on a wire leader u dont need clips.haywire twist
We need the swivels for big fish and you need the clips for fast bait change over. In a? tournament yuo may change baits on a rod 20 times in a day.
Outside of the tournament environment, you’re correct. They’re not really needed.
Medium Heavy with fast tip for husky jerks and tubes. Heavy? with fast tip for swim baits.
@ProAnglers why in tournaments?? who cares ive caught? 200lb tuna and 70lb wahoo..with just twisting on wire..and they fight way harder than a pike or muskie or any freshwater fish for that matter.
What your suggesting is true…. not arguing with you. We fish 25 tournaments a year and after 500 tournaments fished, we have established that the ability to switch baits quickly outweighs the need to? create a simple solution. Outside of the tournament environment, I would agree with you.
chris is? a relative of mine
Great videos you? have! Thank you for sharing them
Give it?
@Novakavich1 Thanks for watching!?

What lakes do you fish for pike?
Hi Chris, great vid and tips thanks!. I love fishing for pike with a bait casting reel, do you use braid or mono? only reason im asking is? whenever ive traid to use braid, i always end up with a massive tangle. Any tips? cheers, UK Piker
nice tips i fish for pike in the u.k and thoose tips will work great for? weeded areas i fish!!
as a fellow pike angler i would like to know what would posses you to bend the hooks? it weekens the metal. what are you goin to do when you hook a 30 plus fish? oh and with tweleve? pound test how do you stop the pike when they head to thick weeds or trees? prayer?
I use a 7.5 foot med/heavy fast action? rod with 50lb braid
braid SUCKS im using 10lbs sufix and its snapped on me 2 x!! lures aint cheap. if i go higher test on a reel that recommends? 10lbs mono, is that bad?
Don’t mean to sound like an ass or anything, but your loosing more fish with your hook mod. Your loosing strength, accuracy, and potentially more pike. Bomber lures have designed the lure to have tri hooks. Otherwise? they would have put on two hooks. Interesting line and rod combo. Personally I have a 7:1 high speed reel with a 6′6 med/heavy with 60lbs braid. Super strong!!! Good luck with pulling out those pike!
Braids never done much for me, even if it’s the strongest braid out there you’re proper donald if it starts to fray on you (which is quite easy even in moderate weed). I’d get a good brand of mono (15lb+), 8ft carbon rod and an Abu baitcaster. Casts better too in my opinion, should hold a decent fish. I’m from UK btw so you US? might need stronger kit…
i also have fireline crystal but ive experienced that it frays a lot easier than any other i have used. i use power pro now and hoping to reel me in some nice pike this summer with white spinners. I also use an? Abu Garcia rod/spinning reel. but great tips, thanks for sharing.
Is it a sin to use spinning reels for Pike?? Or should we really be using a baitcaster?
I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and coverage! Keep up the amazing works guys I’ve added you guys to our blogroll.
