Pike fishing with crankbaits is a popular and very effective method that every predatory fisherman should master. Crankbaits, made of hard plastic or wood, come in various shapes and sizes, each with unique properties that make them suitable for different fishing situations.
CHARACTERISTICS OF PIKE CRANKBAITS
Pike crankbaits vary widely in length, shape, diving depth and action. The action refers to the way the lure moves through the water. Most crankbaits have a diving paddle at the front that determines how deep the lure swims when reeled in. The size of the crankbait often depends on the type of predatory fish you are fishing for; for pike, crankbaits between 10 and 16 cm are usually the most effective.
USING CRANKBAITS WHEN PIKE FISHING
Pike crankbaits can be used all year round, except for the closed season in spring from 1 March to the last Saturday in May. During this period, pike can spawn undisturbed. Crankbaits are effective because they can elicit an aggressive response from pike, a fish known for its predatory nature. Whether you choose crankbaits that rattle, have multiple segments or offer realistic fish imitation, they can all be successful.
