Pike fishing in autumn is very interesting and productive, most often spinning rods with various baits are used to catch a toothy resident. It is impossible to single out any specific ones, since during this period the pike rushes at almost everything. The activity of the pike is explained by the decrease in the temperature regime of air and water, in addition, the predator feels the approach of winter and tries to work up fat for the winter.

Predator activity will vary by month, and this can be represented in the form of the following table:

Tackle collection

Tackle for catching autumn pike is used special, during this period the predator is aggressive, and fishing should be carried out at decent depths. Based on these features, the selection of components should be appropriate.

Form

Catching pike on a spinning rod in the fall is effective, but only if it is possible to fish at considerable depths. It is there that the toothy resident will hide behind the representatives of her diet.

Fishing involves the use of significant loads, which means that pike should be caught in the fall with rods with good casting performance. In the autumn period, rods with the following characteristics are used:

• the length depends on where the fishing will be carried out: at least 2,4 m long is used from the shore, spinning up to 2 m is suitable for a boat;
• the minimum casting weight often exceeds 7g, so a test of 10-30g or 15-40g is ideal;
• you should choose from carbon plugs, your hand will definitely not get tired of them, even if you fish all day.

Coil

Autumn pike fishing on spinning often brings trophy specimens of a predator. It is not enough to detect a toothy resident, then you also need to pull her out, and without a high-quality coil, this is unlikely to be done. To collect gear for the fall, the coil is chosen with the following indicators:

• spool not less than 3000 size;
• the presence of a metal spool, which is used as the main one for fishing;
• the number of bearings plays an important role, for spinning gear you need at least 3, ideally 5-7.

It is better to choose a gear ratio more, preference should be given to options of 6,2: 1.

Basis

Many people use regular fishing line, but it often twists and gets confused after several fishing trips. A braided cord is considered the best option; for autumn fishing, it is better to choose an 8-strand option. With a minimum thickness, it will withstand excellent loads, which means that the pike will not leave for sure.

Findings

Often, when forming tackle, anglers make their own leashes, they use swivels, clasps, clockwork rings. And on the baits themselves, the hooks can become dull, which will negatively affect the detection of a predator. To avoid breakages and precisely keep the tackle safe and sound, it is necessary to use only high-quality fittings.

Buy fasteners, swivels, rings only from trusted manufacturers, and you should not save on tees and other types of hooks.

Lead material is also important, the use of fluorocarbon during this period is not advisable. The best options would be:

• tungsten;
• table;
• titanium.

Many prefer the string. Such a leash can be built without additional fittings, on a twist. However, experienced anglers still recommend using at least a swivel in order to avoid tangling gear.

Having collected tackle from such components, the angler will definitely be able to detect and retrieve the trophy.
