Ловля щуки на «дорожку»

The apex of the rod, slightly bent due to the resistance of the bait, at some point straightens and then bends again a little. This is the second time this morning. Ten minutes later, the game is repeated. The tip of the right rod comes up. Quickly doing the cutting. Eat!

Pike weighing about 1, 8 kg was on the heels of silicone fish and still decided to poke her nose. Only due to calm weather this morning fail to respond to such a timid bite. To increase the number of “hits” with such a cautious nibble, there are two possibilities.

1. Faster paddle, resulting in pike will not have much time to more thoroughly examine the bait. Grab or let go of imaginary prey? That’s the question. Therefore, with the increase of speed boat strikes are becoming more aggressive.

2. Fix an additional single hook on the tail of a plastic fish. If now pike pounces on the tail of the bait, the hook will be in her mouth. Often the bite is not noticed, and just see susacasa fish slowly begins to bend the rod.
Bites-hammers without pike

During high speed with a sinker type Downrigger often there is another problem. After a long wait, the bite is like a hammer blow. The rod is bent the wheel almost to the arm, and the brake begins to reluctantly off the line. Literally a fraction of a second the rod is straightened, and the pike is not spotted. Then, calming down a bit after the explosion of resentment and anger, we begin to study your bait.

The hooks are so sharp that even one glance at them, the fish should asecsa. Grass on the hook also no. But on the bait you can see one or two scratches from the pike teeth. A similar problem arose, in particular, when fishing spoons lures in length from 10 to 20 see What was going on?

Pike pinched the bait crosswise in its mouth like a Vice, and when he opened his mouth, end the tee is not dug. Decided to put the second tee in the head of the spinner. So at least one hook can be spotted. Sometimes we were lucky, and we spotted pike with two tees on the outside.
Back tee

The same thing happens with large plastic fish and wobblers. With a length of 15-30 cm they are very well moving in the water, imitating a favorite food of pike in the lakes. Anyway, so behave homemade baits. However, usually tees are placed on the abdomen of artificial bait.

If the pike is attacking with more or less open mouth, it may be that the slightly protruding lower jaw of the predator will turn off Wobbler and backrest will be the first to fall. The belly of the bait does not reach the pike, the tees will not be able to detect the fish. Help this trouble can be an additional tee on the back of the bait. Thus, this area of the crank, remaining still without hooks, will be armed.

In conclusion, I would like to wish you caught a pike fatty, weighing 18 kg. Read about the underwater hunt for pike.
