When fishing for pike, hardbaits are indispensable in your lure collection. This category includes various types of lures such as crankbaits, jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits and twitchbaits. These are mostly made of hard materials such as plastic, balsa wood or metal, and are designed to provoke the aggressive nature of pike. Hardbaits are essential because of their ability to attract large, predatory fish through their lively actions and vibrations in the water.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT HARDBAIT
Choosing the right hardbait depends on several factors such as the water you fish in, the seasonal behaviour of pike and your personal fishing style. For effective pike catches, it is important to vary both in size and type of hardbait. Here you can think about using bigger models for deeper water or during the cold months when pike need more energy to chase big prey.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF HARDBAITS
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST HARDBAIT FOR PIKE?
The choice of your hardbait should be based on the environment where you are fishing and the prevailing weather conditions. Pay attention to the prey fish available in the water and try to choose hardbaits that mimic them in both shape and colour. For murky water or in low light, brightly coloured or noisy hardbaits are effective in attracting the attention of pike. In clear water, more subtle and natural-looking hardbaits work better.
