Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

First advice for a beginner is, take someone with you who can show you how to unhook and safely handle pike.

Definitely and a beginner should look up videos how to handle and unhook a pike. Another tip if you're having trouble unhooking put it back in the net to recover then try again, also don't target pike when the weather is really hot.

youtube is a great resource these days. plenty of videos on how to unhook pike.

The wide variety of lures available these days are more designed to catch the angler rather than the fish, especially with the prices of them these days! And yes, I lure fish!

If you’ve never caught pike before go with someone that has pike are incredibly delicate fish and need to be handled properly,anyone can catch a pike but unhooking and returning the fish safely takes time to learn I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to help anglers return there first pike because they don’t know how to handle the pike once caught it only takes 1 inexperienced fishermen to destroy a stretches pike fishing with bad handling remember fish can’t breath air try holding your breath when you have a fish on the bank ,treat them with respect make sure you rest them before you unhook them and then rest them again before release

enough with all the resting when u catch a pike u lift it out of the water, grab it by the gills.. then make sure it never touches the ground cause that is very bad for their skin.. unhook them and release them... u can do this all in under 30 seconds then 99-100 pike u catch will be fine.. i might take a picture or 2 if i catch a big one.. but never take it out of the water too long. the less handeling time/touching the fish the better.

Shed looks good! Great background..👍

Love that we've finally seen the shed...The spiritual home of DB fishing!

Thanks for the video mate - very helpful

You got it covered with that choice, spoons and inline spinners are an inexpensive option. I have to wait for the ice to go before I can fish. Great video as always.

sweet shed :)) I agree about spinners, used to use them a lot when I started

Savage gear shine glider is great for beginners too👌rudd colour works best for me

Thanks man, very informative like all your vids.

Great video Dan thanks buddy 🐊👍🐊👍

Please make a vid for your best 10 lures :D you got that big collection nice video btw keep going!

Savage gear freestyler was absolutely awesome when i started i have 6 of them still catch lots of pike with them,para

Good information, nice shed!!! 👍👍

Nice video, if anyone is starting out on a budget I'd suggest getting the savage gear hybrid pike , comes with a paddle tail and a curly tail, rather than forking out for both the Otus AND the Peto. Win win 👍🏻

Cheers for the info bud, and I can’t wait for the same video on your lures for saltwater rock fishing.

Best lure I had was one of my first, 7 inch crank redhaid pattern, no brand on it but it worked a charm. Recently gave up on me after 5 years. Hung it on the wall.

Whats the action like on the madussa bro, ive been looking at getting 1 but wasn't sure. Great vid man keep up the good work💯👍👌👌

Starting out pike fishing I loved the westin pre rigged shadteez 16cm...always caught pike on it.. Nowadays I have more lures than sense but they become very addictive.

Been using ul spinnerbait recently. Had 2 pike yday and one today up to 8.5lb. On bfs 2-8g gear it’s fun haha

The only thing i would say to a first time Piker, Is to go with someone who has Experience in handling them, and learn how to do this before going solo. They may look Mean and Tough, but they are very, very Delicate, and need to be handled with care. Then decide the tackle to used. My go to Spinner, is the tried and trusted "Ondex" probably the best and well known of all. Also a "Devon Minnow" had some 20lb+ on those. I have some Large "Toby" Copper Spoons and some Large "Colorado" Spoons as well. I am mostly on a Mike The Pike Medium and Large in natural colours. Top water, i have the Rat, Jitterbug, Frogs. Thanks for sharing.

The Rotax spinner i very good. Has caught me many big perch and also pike! I would say that westin swim is actually a beginners bait. Westin shad teez is a very good shad for jigging.

As a beginner i would just throw small spinners and small shads. You will mostly catch Perch but also a few, small to medium size Pike where you practice how to handle them properly. When you catched a few 50cm pikes, you can step up the bait size and catch the bigger ones.

One thing with the likes of the line-thru and replecant is they are heavy lures compared to a crank bait of the same size. Make sure your rod can cope with them.

My first pike was on a rapala j-14 I think, maybe a j-13. In any case, it was a jointed rapala.

My first pike was at age 9 on a 12g pink Toby lure. I had that lure for ages, only lost it in 2020!

Have you ever came across mildew on your gear kept in the shed mate ? How have you got around it cheers ?

Lures that move like a natural fish in water are good especially minnow lures. Especially if the lures are similar markings to natural fish that the pike usually feed on. Sometimes larger lures can scare off pike.

Started off pike fishing many years ago now with the good old Ondex, still catches me fish today. I also loved the savage gear 4 play......God know why I'm spending £30/£40 on a single lure these days !

Savage gear shine glider is one of my favourite lures, similar to 4 play caught loads of pike with them. My favourite lures I use now are from a Polish company wob-art, hand painted hard lures all quite light but can cast them without spooking fish.

Rapala wedless minnowspoon is easy to use

The video I needed and subbed! First day pike fishing today didn't catch fuck all but a cold but love it nice one son!

Great video, could you do a video for guys that are on a budget?

Westin Swim/Scout Swimmer/Buster Swim Bait. Cast and reel, a pause now and then.

Is there a specific time of year better for lures? Especially surface lures....

Top post thanks

You should get the shadzilla it is by waterwolf qnd it's big but effective with the big and small pike

what size should i use in-line spinner to catch pike??

I use 28g tobies for bass fishing. I fished for pike for the very first time yesterday using lures on a local water after an invite from my friend and decided if they catch bass they should catch pike. Second cast hooked and landed a 15lb pike. Also caught a 5lb pike on another style of toby lure. So my point is dont rule out traditional lures which have caught fish for years. As one person commented alot of lures attract anglers and at a hefty price

Fish slow and deep. The pike is cold now. 15 - 20 cm lures. Curly tails works good now

Spoons are also great lures for casting and trolling

Popper fishing challenge for pike? Is my favorite lure in Hungary.

with the spinners, I suggest swapping out the treble for a single barbless hook. (something like cox and rale inline lure replacement singles) I have had some of the worst unhooking experiences because spinners are so small and attacked with so much enthusiasm compared to other lures. I have had small pike and good sized chub swallow them whole right down to the back of the throat, you get a situation where one point is buried in the bottom of the throat and another is in the roof. This happened very often for me before i switched to single hook, and makes for a lousy first experience with pike

@danieluk22

So singles are better for fish? Barbed trebles are predominantly used in tournament fishing I wonder why that is? 🤔

Can you do e video on your favorite pike lures

Vid idea: how to make jerkbaits Think a lot of people would like to see

Can't go wrong with the old Len Thompson red devil or five of diamonds spoons...

Best Lures for beginners are all Single Hook Barbless lures. And someone who can show them how to handle a fish. Getting the confidence of handling and unhooking the fish is key for beginners. We are not after big fish at this stage, we are after the experience. Treble hooks never need to be barbed, but they are certainly not for the beginner. Multi jointed lures can be accessible to beginners by switching out the treble hooks to inline single hooks. Natural Coloured lures for the water is always a good approach.

That lure you first caught a pike on is called a Johnson silver minnow.

Nice fishing dude! Great vid, I just went fishing on my channel too! Keep it up 👍 🎣 🔥

DonOneBryson - works both ways, I'm sure old school fishermen get sick of kids thinking flouro is some kind of magic invisible bite proof line. Especially when they find bitten off lures in a pike's mouth. I'm not old school or new school to be honest. Only started fishing again last October after throwing some lures off the rocks and thinking I should do something similar back home. Got myself some Drennan coated wire and made up some traces, caught plenty with peace of mind. Only had one really big fish, high double, and that took the lure into its mouth with the trace in its teeth. I'm not convinced catch rate would improve using flouro but I'm open minded enough to give it a try - out of interest how do you tie line that thick, does the usual uni knot work ok or do you have to crimp it somehow. I'll have to do some research.

@@leftmono1016 if you're using regenerator mono it's very supple, you can normally tie a simplified version of an improved clinch knot (ie 3 wraps instead of 7 or 8) it grips itself well and with the tag end melted it will not slip. If you're using fluoro then you have to crimp it cos it's extremely hard to get a decent knot, double crimping is the way forward. I've had pike over 20lbs in the canals of the Netherlands, never even been close to being bitten off but have 100 percent seen an improvement in the number of bites. I'm totally convinced that on a day when the fishing is tough, using the right leader will get you that extra fish. Like I said, the amount of pike you see with fucked up mouths and scarred bodies from wrapping around wire traces is what put me off, when I saw the quality of the fish that the Swedes, Norwegians and dutch are having I was sold. The fact is that line quality has improved tremendously in the past few years, and the high quality flouros and monos are nothing like the stuff of yesteryear.

Where do you stand on the whole summer debate man, I think as long as they are well rested and well Fished I don't see the problem, but so many are very anti lure fishing from march onwards....

Most important thing are not the lures. It a small raft to be able to cary anywhere and get those snagged lures out#🤑
