Lures for pike perch – 10 best lures, how to choose which one to catch

Pike perch is one of the most cautious predators, which is sometimes very difficult to lure out of the parking lot. For catching it, baits such as wobblers and spinners are used. In this article, we will consider the second option. Consider the main points for successful fishing, and also find out which lure to catch zander.

How to fish with a lure: tactics and techniques for catching pike perch with a lure in winter and summer 

Winter fishing itself has a number of features. Accordingly, tactics will differ from other seasons. Therefore, we will reveal the main points of winter fishing:

• Excessive noise can be a deterrent;
• The fisherman must be prepared for an unexpected bite;
• Some use the tactic of bottoming down to 30 cm and then releasing with a five second pause;
• At greater depths, broach along the bottom is used. To do this, the reel brake is released, and the spinner is lowered. We wait 30 seconds and the fishing line is smoothly reeled up. Then the bait is carried along the bottom.
• You can use jerky tactics. Depends on the bite;
• In frosty weather, spinners recommend tossing the spoon by 10 cm;
• You can attract a predator by making noise by tapping the nozzle on the ground;
• With active bite, the number of pauses is reduced;
• The actions of the fisherman must be smooth and careful so as not to frighten off the zander;
• Determining the location of the predator begins with shallow water and gradually moves to the middle of the reservoir. The recommended distance between holes is 15 – 20 m.

Summer fishing for fanged, based on technology, is divided into several wiring options:

• For demolition. This method is applicable in rivers with good flow. The spinner is cast and, as it is demolished, winding is done;
• Equal wiring. The bait is thrown into the pond as far as possible and smoothly led to the fisherman. In this case, the vibrator should periodically touch the ground and break away from it by no more than 10 cm;
• Posting steps “Step”. Having thrown the lure, the angler waits for the bottom to touch and makes several turns with the reel. Then a short pause is made and the process is repeated;
• “Surplas”. It is carried out when fishing from a boat. It is important to have a flow. The peculiarity lies in the fact that after casting the spinners, they do not pull it towards themselves. The attention of pike perch is attracted by slight twitches of the tip of the spinning rod.

You can catch a fish with almost any bait. The main thing to remember about the spawning ban. It usually starts in late spring and ends in June.

Pike perch is notable for the fact that after the hook it practically does not resist. Even large individuals behave quite calmly. Therefore, it will not be difficult to deliver it to the shore.

True, there are times when, once on the hook, the predator goes along with the tackle into a snag or piles of stones. It will be more difficult to get him out of there. Especially if the line gets tangled over obstacles.

Zander rarely attacks a dynamic fish. Therefore, the wiring should be moderate.
