Your Equipment For Perch, Pike and More
Predatory fishing is the active and exciting way to fish. Whether you are stalking perch in the polder or hunting meter-long pike with large lures: the right predator fishing gear makes the difference. At De Goeie Vangst you will find everything you need – from rod to hook, from lure to tackle box.
Predatory Fish Species in Belgium and the Netherlands
The most popular predatory fish are undoubtedly pike, zander and perch. These predators can be found in many waters and each requires a slightly different approach. In addition, asp, catfish, trout and sea bass are increasingly targeted by sport fishermen. Each species requires adapted gear, such as a dropshot rod for perch, or a jerkbait rod with baitcaster for pike.
Active Fishing with Lures
Predatory fishing with lures is dynamic and versatile. You continuously cast out your lure and bring it to life with your rod. Plugs, spinners, softbaits, jerkbaits and swimbaits: each lure has its own action and application. With a good selection in your tackle box you can respond to the season, the type of water and the behavior of the fish.
Important Gear for Predator Anglers
Fishing for predatory fish involves more than just a rod. You need:
Predator rod: tailored to your technique and the weight of your lure.
Reel or spinning reel: choose a spinning reel for light lures, a reel for heavier techniques.
Braided line: for optimal sensitivity and hook security.
Leaders: steel wire or fluorocarbon for protection against sharp teeth.
Pliers: such as a hook remover, cutting pliers and possibly fish-safe gloves.
Tackle box or backpack: to carry everything neatly to the waterside.
Predatory Fishing Techniques:
Depending on the species and conditions, you adjust your fishing. A few popular techniques:
Spin fishing: all-round method for perch, zander and pike.
Dropshotting: finesse technique for perch and zander, especially in cold water.
Jerkbaiting: powerful fishing for pike with short jerks.
Vertical fishing: straight under the boat or shore – perfect for deep spots.
