Many anglers are confident that the most catchy baits on a pike in the fall - the biggest. There is a theory of "big bait = big fish." It is believed that a large pike prefers larger prey, as it spends less energy than chasing a small bipod. Small pikes are also quite capable of eating surprisingly large prey. Often, small pikes are caught on baits not much smaller than themselves.
Another theory about why large baits are the most successful is that a pike sees an enemy in a large fish (bait) and will attack it regardless of whether it is hungry or not. This works well in the case of a bait that mimics another pike. However, all these theories do not mean that small pike spinners "do not work."
So which baubles are best for pike in the fall? The ranking of the best pike baits in the fall will help you figure this out. We also selected the best pike wobblers.
10. Kuusamo Rasanen
Price - from 380 rubles.
The oscillating bait is “unhooked” from a time-tested Finnish manufacturer. Perfect for fishing in places with inaccessible bottom relief. Due to its graceful shape and special hydrodynamics, this spinner can be used for spinning, as well as for a fishing method called “track”.
9. Mepps Lusox
Price - from 261 rubles.
A distinctive feature of these spinners is the petals of silver and gold flowers, which, while spinning, “push” the water. In this case, the petals rotate slowly, and the angle of their deviation does not exceed 25 degrees. According to the reviews of fishers, the spinner is very catchy, and the main trick when using it is to master the correct wiring. It is similar to the usual step, when the rise from the bottom is high and slightly accelerated, and the descent is as long as possible, slow and gentle.
8. DAM Effzett
Price - from 219 rubles.
There are three “pike” versions of this spinner:
- broad with a sharp nose;
- wide with a rounded nose;
- wide with pointed ends.
Any of these species is great for pike fishing. But you should not buy narrow oscillators for going after a pike, they catch perches and small asps in rivers with a strong current.
7. Mepps Aglia
Cost - from 149 rubles.
Another bait from the French manufacturer Mepps in the rating of catchy pike spinners in the fall. For pike the baubles with numbers 4 and 5 are best suited. The rotation angle of the bauble petal is 60 degrees. Has a high frontal resistance ("tenacity").
6. Mepps Syclops 1 Silver / Red
Cost - from 240 rubles.
The movements of this lure successfully imitate live fish, and ten faces of light reflection attract a pike like a lighthouse.
5. Rapala Minnow Spoon
Cost - from 415 rubles.
One of the most catchy lures. This oscillating and unobtrusive spinner has a “body” flattened from the sides and plays perfectly both with slow uniform wiring and falling. With it you can catch pike, zander and perch in places with dense bottom grass, in reeds and snags.
4. The oscillating spinner "ATOM"
Cost - from 310 rubles.
The universal oscillating bait is best suited for catching pike and other predators in places with little or no current. They can be used both in casting and as trolling baits.
3. Blue Fox Super Vibrax
Cost - from 340 rubles.
Popular spinner with custom design. The "body" of the bait is made of metal and the spinner axis is rigidly fixed in it. The petal has a classic shape. The sharpest triple hook will not leave the fish a chance to slip.
2. Mepps Aglia Long
Cost - from 300 rubles.
This spinner is so bright that it will attract any predatory fish. Both in stagnant and stormy water, the spinners maintain the correct movement and stable rotation of the petal. It has sizes from N0 to N5.
1. Kastmaster
Cost - from 300 rubles.
American pike spinners. She headed the top 10 lures thanks to a wide variety of sizes (there are 5 in total), versatility (you can catch any predator living in fresh water bodies and the sea on it) and a measured game of medium intensity. With accelerated winding, the spinner quickly comes to the surface, although it has a large mass. It can be driven both quickly and slowly, the pike will notice and attack the tidy bait anyway.
