Beginners and experienced anglers know that you need to have not only newfangled wobblers and silicone lures in your arsenal. Catching pike on a lure in most cases brings excellent results, and practically no one has any difficulties in wiring. We offer to study all the variety of assortment and subtleties of catching a predator at different times of the year together.
Varieties of spinners for pike
The pike lure has been used since prehistoric times. Often, archaeologists find huge baits that our ancestors used to catch predators in reservoirs. Now there are a lot of varieties and types of fishing lures, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
In open water, two types of baits are used for catching pike on spinning:
- spinner;
- oscillating glitter.
From the ice they make fishing with vertical spinners, but it will be much easier for the angler to cope with it.
Oscillators
To catch large pike, in most cases, it is the oscillating lure that is used. But during the autumn zhora, smaller representatives of the ichthyofauna also react to this bait option. The most common and popular among both anglers and predators are:
- Atom;
- Pike;
- perch;
- Lady.
These options are suitable for fishing both river waters and reservoirs with stagnant water. The size and weight are selected based on the fishing season, as well as on the spinning blank used, or rather its casting indicators.
There are very large spoons, it is with such baits that you can catch a pike of 10 kg or more.
Turntables
Spinners are used to catch not only pike. If it is correct to catch this type of bait from the shore, then as a trophy you can get perch, pike perch, asp and, of course, pike. Rotators are distinguished by:
- weight;
- petal shape;
- body burdens.
The most famous manufacturers of this type of catch lures are Mepps and Blue Fox, Ponton 21 has also proven itself well.
The weight of the bait is selected, starting from the depths of the fished reservoir, taking into account the indicators on the spinning. Some craftsmen independently load the bait already on the pond to fish deeper places.
When choosing spinners for pike fishing, they first think over where fishing is planned. Fishing for pike on a lure in a pond with stagnant water is carried out by models with a rounder petal, while an elongated one is suitable for catching in the current.
Sheer vertical models do not have such features and special differences, except for the weight and color itself.
How to catch pike on a lure
Not everyone knows how to flash a pike, novice anglers do not always cope with such a task the first time. To catch pike on a spinning rod, you need experience, and you can only get it on a pond.
Tackle for catching pike lures are selected depending on the reservoir and the season, but the wiring for each type of bait separately.
Wiring for the vibrator
A variety of baits are suitable for catching pike on a lure of this type, but experienced anglers recommend starting with a uniform one. This type can be easily mastered even by a beginner who first took the form in his hands.
For a large pike, the wiring should be more aggressive, especially in the autumn, the predator will respond well to twitching the tip of the blank, as well as small pauses.
Turntable wiring
Not everyone will be able to flash the spinner correctly the first time, for proper wiring it is necessary to have at least a little experience. The best animation options will turn artificial bait in the eyes of a predator into a wounded fish trying to escape. This effect is achieved due to the petal rotating around the axis.
The twitching of the whip and the quick winding off of the slack in the warp can interest even a sluggish predator and make him attack from all over the hideout.
Catching pike on baubles by season
Depending on the season, the baits used for pike will vary, the color of the lure, its size and type will be important. Experienced anglers know exactly when and what kind of bait to put, we will also reveal some secrets.
Spring
Immediately after the ice breaks, many spinners go to try their luck. To catch large pike, relatively small baits are used, among which there can be both spinners and oscillating ones.
The color scheme can be very different, depending on the transparency of the water, they use:
- acid color in muddy water when spilled;
- in clear water with already settled turbidity, the pike will respond better to light petals, the silver version will work fine;
- in sunny weather, the bronze color of the bait is more noticeable to the predator;
- a cloudy day with rain will open up in full golden baubles.
Everything should be in the arsenal, because in such a period for catching the behavior of fish it is very difficult to predict. Catchy bait for pike in the spring for spinning can be the most unpredictable.
Summer
In the summer heat, fish often stand at the bottom and in pits where the temperature is much lower. You definitely won’t be able to interest her with large baits; you don’t really want to chase after a large “victim”. But a small and stupid “trifle” is more likely to please the predator.
In cloudy weather, you can try medium-sized spoons, but sunny days can pass without a single bite at all. Sometimes acid works also work well, but they must be carried out in the near-bottom areas of reservoirs.
Autumn
This time of the year is a real paradise for anglers; you can catch pike in various water bodies using any large baubles. Both oscillating and rotating options are actively used.
It is impossible to single out the best models, you need to try everything that is in each fishing box, and the option that has been lying since ancient times can work.
Winter
Fishing is carried out from the ice in a plumb line, for this, vertical baubles of the castmaster type are used. Both gold and silver versions work great. Depending on the fished depths, models from 5 to 30 g are used.
Catching pike on a lure at any time of the year is successful, the main thing is to choose the size and color of the bait, as well as to hold it correctly and in the right place.
