Predator Rods

The right predator fishing rod for your lure and fishing style

Whether you are targeting pike, perch, zander or sea bass – with the right predator fishing rod you have more control, better casts and a greater chance of success. Predator fishing is active and exciting, and requires a rod that perfectly matches your lure, fishing water and technique. Whether you are just starting out or have been fishing for years, we help you choose the ideal rod.

What is a predator fishing rod?

A predator fishing rod is designed for fishing predator fish with lures. These rods are generally light, sensitive and strong. Important features are casting accuracy, bite detection and the ability to handle strong fights. Under the category of predator fishing rods fall various types: from spinning rods and baitcasting rods to dropshot rods, jerkbait rods and vertical rods. Each type has its own applications and advantages.

Which predator fishing rod suits your fishing?

Choosing the right rod mainly depends on the type of lure, the fish species and the water you fish in. Do you fish with light lures such as small plugs or softbaits for perch or trout? Then a light spinning rod with a casting weight up to 20 grams is ideal. For pike you often use heavier lures, for which you need a rod with a casting weight of 30 to 80 grams or even higher.

The length of the rod also plays a role. Do you fish from the shore and want to cast far? Then choose a rod between 2.40 and 3 meters. If you fish from a boat or belly boat, a shorter rod of 1.80 to 2.40 meters is often more convenient and easier to control.

Predator fishing rods with reel or baitcasting reel

If you fish with a reel, a spinning rod belongs with it. This combination is the most popular among predator anglers. If you go for a baitcasting reel, you choose a baitcasting rod with a trigger grip. These rods provide more control when fishing with jerkbaits or heavier lures, and are perfect for precise casts close to obstacles.

Complete predator fishing rod sets for extra convenience

Prefer no hassle with separate parts? Then choose a complete predator fishing rod set. These sets consist of a perfectly matched rod and reel or baitcasting reel, often including line and sometimes even lures. Ideal for beginner anglers or those who want to get on the water quickly.

Our tip for beginners

Do you want to start all-round predator fishing? Then a spinning rod of 2.40 or 2.70 meters with a casting weight of around 25 grams is an excellent choice. With this you can fish with the most common lures, for many different predator fish, without having to invest immediately in multiple rods.
