To catch a trophy on a spinning blank, it is not enough to choose the right bait; pike leads are no less important. In order to provoke an attack of an ichthy-dweller, it is necessary to choose the right speed and technique for passing through the water depths. This can only be done experimentally, but still, every angler should have some general concepts about this.
Varieties of wiring bait for pike
When catching pike on a spinning rod of any of the lures, the correct wiring plays one of the most important roles. In the process of passing water thicknesses, the bait used should imitate as much as possible a wounded fish that is trying to escape from a predator. Only in this case, the pike will pay attention to the proposed bait and go on the attack.
Experienced anglers most often use several types of basic wiring, each of which has its own characteristics and is used for certain lures. It is advisable for beginners to familiarize themselves with the varieties before a trip to the reservoir, where it is already worth working out the subtleties in practice.
Uniform
Everyone knows how to do this type of wiring correctly, sometimes without even suspecting it. When catching pike, this method is considered the simplest and most accessible even to children. The main role here will be played by the bait itself, it is on it that the successful outcome of the work begun depends. Tackle with bait is thrown to a given point and wait until the bait sinks to the bottom. After that, they begin unhurried work with a coil, the essence of which lies in the uniform and unhurried winding of the warp.
To achieve a better effect, sometimes you can make short pauses, and then rewind the line again. Usually it is during the pause that the pike attacks the proposed bait.
stepped
Stepped wiring to a predator is carried out in two ways, each of which will be no less effective. The bottom line is that the bait in the water column moves in a zigzag manner, then rises, then again sinks to the bottom. Let’s consider each of them in more detail:
- With the help of a reel, it is not difficult to make the bait move like this. It is enough to wait until the bait is completely lowered to the bottom, then make 2-3 turns with the handle, stop and wait again for the bait to touch the bottom. Further actions are repeated until the coastline. The speed of lowering directly depends on the speed of rotation of the handle.
- With a rod, this wiring for a pike is carried out a little differently. Immediately after casting, we wait until the bait is completely lowered to the bottom, then we make a sharp jerk with the blank so that the bait used rises about 15 cm above the bottom. And at the same moment we wind out the slack in the base with a reel. Then again we wait for the complete immersion of the bait and again we make a jerk. An important point with this method will be to maintain the tension of the fishing line, which allows you to fully control the bait.
This wiring is used by many, it is one of the most used for various types of baits. The attention of the predator is attracted not only by the zigzag movements of the bait, but also by the turbidity created by it when it falls to the bottom. In addition, it becomes possible to create a specific sound with the bait, which additionally attracts the inhabitants of the fish.
Aggressive
This type is very similar to the previous one, performed using a spinning blank. The difference is that the jerks are performed as sweeps, then the bait, sinking to the bottom, will make slight oscillating movements.
This type of wiring is used for active fish when the water temperature rises to 15 degrees or more.
For demolition
This type of bait supply to a predator is quite unusual, the wiring is carried out by the current. Here it is important to choose the right weight of the bait, most often jig heads on silicone. The parameters are selected so that it goes just at the bottom, does not rise high in the water column, but does not burrow into the upper layer of the bottom.
We found out how to do the wiring, in addition, it is worth knowing that this method is used with cold water, best of all in late autumn before freezing.
Twich
Pike fishing with twitching will bring more trophies in the autumn, when the predator is aggressive and throws itself at actively moving baits. There are no specific rules and conditions for this type, it all depends on the angler himself and his skills.
The most used is the so-called acceleration-deceleration, we can say this is the basis of the wiring. Immediately after casting, it is necessary to wait until the bait touches the bottom, then they begin to slowly reel in the base, after a couple of turns the reel starts to accelerate, it is carried out with 3-4 turns, then they return to the primary method.
Acceleration-deceleration is carried out only with a coil, other elements can be added. The movement with a blank will work well when the undergrowth will need to be exhausted additionally.
Stop end go
This method has proven itself to be the best wobbler wiring, especially two- and three-piece. The essence of the method lies in the fact that immediately after casting, out of habit, we expect the bait to completely sink and touch the bottom. Then, as slowly as possible, we make 3-5 turns with the coil and stop. Then the cycles are repeated with the same amplitude.
The bait will cause interest in a predator almost immediately, but the attack usually occurs at a stop.
In addition to the above, there are many more spinning postings. Anglers with experience know that the main thing in this business is not to be afraid of experiments, it is not only possible, but also necessary, to introduce your own innovations into the already proposed methods.
Features of wiring different baits
Both beginners and more experienced spinners know that each individual lure requires a special approach. That is, the wiring used is individual for each bait. The same method will not be able to equally well present a jig and a wobbler to a predator.
Jig lures
Jig options for bait can be carried out with almost every method, and each time the bait will play in a special way. The best are:
- uniform
- stepped;
- aggressive.
Demolition wiring is often used when fishing the water area with foam rubber fish with jig installation.
Spoons
Wiring for pike for spinners is selected based on the speed at which it starts to work best. To do this, a small test is first carried out, on the shallows, selected turntables and oscillators are carried out in several ways, and the most efficient rate is determined visually. Usually for spinners choose wiring like this:
- turntables work best with uniform wiring with deceleration and acceleration elements;
- vibrations need a faster pace to work, but you should not rush too much.
Slow and uneven wiring is suitable for both types of spinners.
Wobblers
Wobblers for catching pike can be carried out in several ways, and for each subspecies it is better to use your own method.
| kind of wobbler | applicable wiring |
| popper | reminds twitch, but it is important not to overdo it. It is important that the bait be able to make a specific sound. |
| constituent | with the bait perfectly handle uniform wiring |
| >shed | a light tweak, as well as stop end go will help to reveal the game to these wobblers in the best way |
| minnow | hard twitch will be able to attract the attention of a predator |
You should not strictly adhere to these recommendations, it is important to feel the bait and make your own adjustments to the wiring. Sometimes a slight twitch or a jerk like hooking can cheer up the predator, and he will begin to actively attack the offered delicacy.
Useful Tips
Wobblers for pike can be very diverse, but the bait itself is not enough to catch trophy specimens. There are some secrets, the knowledge of which will significantly speed up the catching of a predator:
- a twitch with a twitch of the whip is able to provoke even a sluggish predator to attack;
- it often happens that when the revolver is cast, the petal jams, the game of the bait will not be attractive, so that this does not happen immediately after entering the water, it is worth pulling a little at the base of the tackle;
- spinning baubles on the shallows are driven slowly, but with frequent twitches of the whip;
- using a leash when mounting tackle with a wobbler can make a neutral bait sink.
Wiring for pike can be very different, it should be selected depending on the bait and on the characteristics of the chosen reservoir.
