Lures rating for pike perch
10 Abu Garcia Atom 20g
The Atom lure from Abu Garcia works well when the predator's feeding activity is low. A unique game, characterized by a wide amplitude and chaotic movements, helps to provoke a bite.
The inner side of the spoon is made of nickel. Outer copper or brass. A small, brightly colored plastic element is attached to the tee, which gives additional animation and arouses the interest of the predator. Since this lure has a rather large volume, it is often used for fishing trophy pike perch and large pike.
9 Acme Little Cleo
The Acme fishing brand Little Cleo metal lure features a wide body and a curve at the bottom. With a length of 5.3 cm, it has a weight of 11.2 g. It is more often used for fishing for pike perch in the summer, when the predator can rise to the upper layers of the water.
The small mass of the bait allows for very slow retrieving, which is extremely necessary when catching a passive predator.
8 Acme Kastmaster
Castmasters have long been used to catch a cautious predator that hunts far from the shore or boat. The leader among this variety of lures is the Acme Kastmaster. It works excellently on zander and asp, allowing you to perform both jig animation and even drive. In the catalog of the American company there are several standard sizes, the fanged robber reacts best to castmasters weighing 10.5-28 g. When purposefully fishing for zander, it is necessary to select such a weight so that the bait goes to the very bottom.
7 Mepps Aglia
The wide petal of the Mepps Aglia "turntable" suggests slow wiring. This bait is more suitable for lakes and reservoirs. If the spinner plans to use this model on the river, then casts should be done upstream.
Otherwise, the speed of rotation of the petal will be very high, which, most likely, will frighten the fish.
The core, located on the wire base, has several transverse grooves that create additional noise effects. For catching pike-perch, bait No. 2 is optimal, the weight of which is 4.5 g.
6 Acme Kastmaster SW
The Kastmaster SW lures are considered to be one of the best zander lures. They are distinguished by:
- excellent flight qualities
- stable play in any conditions
- possibility of horizontal and vertical feeding
- wide model range
The fanged predator responds best to the Kastmaster SW stepped drive. During free fall, the spoon sways from side to side, which rarely leaves the fanged one indifferent.
5 Bay De Noc Swedish Pimple
The Swedish company Bay De Noc produces the Swedish Pimple series of spinners, which are designed for fishing off the ice. This line can also be used when fishing from a boat in a plumb line. The bait is animated with sharp strokes with an amplitude of 15–25 cm.
The presented series is made of brass and covered with a protective varnish, which is subsequently painted. When pike perch is nibbled, modification No. 6, which has a length of 5.7 cm and a weight of 14 g, has proven itself well.A wide range of colors presented makes it possible to choose the bait that will work most effectively on a particular reservoir.
4 Lure zander Tube
Many manufacturers of fishing lures make a lure called "Tube". However, not all of them are able to interest the walleye. The specialists of the company "Orlovskaya Blesna" create a catchable bait manually, conducting further tests on domestic reservoirs. The base is a stainless steel tube that is cut at specific angles. To preserve the shine of the polished stainless steel, the surface is covered with a layer of a special Italian Bionic varnish. The model is considered the best vertical lure on the waters rich in bleak. A modified version can be a sealed tube, with the help of which it is possible to tap deep holes.
3 Nord Water’s, Ural pumping unit PUR07001402GL
This model belongs to the oscillating type of bait. It has a teardrop-shaped metal body painted in golden color. Among other features of the model, fishermen note a low weight with a standard length of 70 mm, as well as the presence of a high-quality tee.
2 RB Triangular
One of the deepest lures for pike perch fishing was made by the Russian Blesna company. The Trekhranka Sabunaev model is a classic of sheer spinning. It has proven itself perfectly when fishing from a boat in the fall, as well as when fishing for a predator from the ice. The lure is made of brass, after which the surface is electroplated in a different color (silver, gold, copper, brass). According to experts, the main advantages of the trihedral body are expressive, clear play. The bait can be tapped on the bottom, attracting the attention of a predator. Due to the stable undercutting, the number of descents can be minimized.
1 Williams Ice Jig
A peculiar design of a vertical spoon was invented by Canadian designers. The Williams Ice Jig is equipped with not only a movable tee, but also two single hooks that are soldered into the middle of the body. In this way, the manufacturer managed to increase the hookability of the bait, minimizing the number of walleyes descending. The narrow body reminds a predator of a fry with believable behavior. Anglers are offered three types of lures to choose from, the best models for targeted pike perch fishing are considered to be 8 and 10.8 cm models with a mass of 17.5 and 21 g, respectively.
