The best baits for pike
Rublex orkla
Rating: 4.9
The catchy spoon, which invariably occupies high positions in various ratings and reviews, is representative of the classic oscillating models for pike fishing. Like Abu Garcia Toby, Orkla has a wide overall range, represented by six modifications weighing from 8 to 24 grams and a corresponding length in the range from 57 to 81 millimeters. The body is made according to all canons of the Scandinavian type of lures, i.e. has an S-shape. This configuration makes the movement spasmodic, resembling a fry that floats naturally, and inevitably causes the predator to follow the potential prey. In the attack phase, the key advantage in the direction of the lure is given by the sticking tee, which retains its original condition for a long period of time (2-4 seasons).
If all the spinners appearing in the rankings to this position, it is advisable to use as the main, then Rublex Orkla quite freely feels like a purely catch bait. It seems that her vocation is dictating the bite tone of a large and medium-sized predator. True, the high price inevitably pushes away frugal anglers from making a purchase, so alas, it will not work to call it the most popular.
Virtues
-
the presence of six dimensional modifications in the series;
-
high-quality and dazzling spinners;
-
high quality workmanship;
-
very catchy tees;
-
sharpened under the watershed.
disadvantages
- unreasonably high price.
Mepps aglia long
Rating: 4.8
The outstanding creation of the French company Mepps was based on the principle of universal minimalism, working at the maximum of its modest possibilities. By some miracle, such a bid was played, and an inexpensive (in terms of production, much less in terms of purchase) the bait became a real bestseller in the circles of domestic fishermen. The prefix "Long" in the name of the rotator indicates an elongated petal, the use of which is advisable when fishing on the current. This configuration gives the spoon a good control when wiring and adds expressiveness to movement. On the axial part of the Agila Long is a load and a red bead, which serves as a tag for the attack.
Special approval from anglers received a wide range of spinners, which has 6 size options, adapted to catch any predator size. In addition, I was very pleased with the cost, which has not undergone a single change since the beginning of the general rise in prices. Having such a sample in your own collection is recommended for every lover of productive fishing, all the more so that you cannot afford to buy it at all.
Virtues
-
very simple and reliable design;
-
a wide range of models (in the presence of models from 2.5 to 29 grams of weight);
-
attractive appearance and active play when posting;
-
extremely low cost.
disadvantages
- not found.
Blue Fox Super Vibrax
Rating: 4.8
The perceptible and catchy Blue Fox Super Vibrax rotator is an equivalent substitute for the equally cool bait Mepps Agila Long, although it loses the latter in terms of popularity in Russia. Paying tribute to the classics, the bait perfectly manifests itself in catching a perch (6-8 grams in weight), but does not shy away from shaking a quite large pike out of the water. The drop-shaped petal “Vaibraks” possesses good stability when fishing in the current, as well as a cheerful and inviting game in still water, even with a minimal burden. Cylinders, resembling a streamlined capsule with a small plane at the tip, are used as a load on this bait. This configuration creates additional drag, as if slowing the lure when fast wiring, and also creates the characteristic low-frequency vibrations.
The flight data of the Blue Fox Super Vibrax is due to the rational placement of the center of gravity, which draws the entire structure into inertial motion. Particularly good results in this component are demonstrated by older models of spinners (weighing 10-12 grams), suitable for catching pike, pikeperch, river trout and chub. This is one of the most “understandable” baits widely recommended for inexperienced anglers to hone skills.
Virtues
-
satisfactory flight range when casting;
-
four sizes of spinners in a series (from 6 to 12 grams);
-
very noticeable and "live" model;
-
the possibility of catching pike, zander, perch, trout and chub;
-
attractive price.
disadvantages
- not found.
Kuusamo Professor 3
Rating: 4.7
This "professor" among his own kind, this series of blesses enjoys the fame of one of the most catching who have ever been on Russian soil. Its name contains a very veiled allusion to superiority, remarkable performance and virtuoso performance, which are so lacking for the closest competitors. Despite being limited by two serial modifications (with the same length of 75 millimeters and weighing 9 and 12 grams), Professor 3 covers all the needs of anglers in bait for fishing grass and clean water. This versatility of bait is justified by the presence of a metal mustache, protecting the hook (single or double) from accidental hooking and breaking.
From a visual point of view, Kuusamo Professor 3 looks much more preferable than some competitors by rating. The fact is that the manufacturer offers as many as 20 options for coloring lures - both provocative and similar to the natural color. In the price ratio, the bait is not the cheapest, but its price is fully justified both constructively and productively. This oscillation does not have much demand among new fishermen, but amateurs take it very willingly.
Virtues
-
the possibility of fishing in clear water and in grassy thickets;
-
optimal stiffness of the safety whiskers;
-
very high quality coating that does not fade and wear over a long time;
-
favorable price-quality ratio.
disadvantages
- not found.
Abu garcia toby
Rating: 4.6
Could not pass by a rating of the best one more sign for the fishing industry the model developed by the Swedish masters from Abu Garcia. Toby is an adherent of the original form of the oscillating spinner, which absorbed the uncharacteristic curves of the body and the presence of pointed wings at the top of the base. The latter are necessary to increase the lateral swinging when making wiring of different intensity levels. In the most "neglected" cases, the movement of the lure begins to resemble a corkscrew - so big are the passes.
Manufacturers decided to achieve an enhancement of the luring effect due to the introduction of a double color, leaving only a small part of the monochromatic colors in the series. The size range of Abu Garcia Toby also pleases with variability. In the lineup, there are as many as 5, the weight of which ranges from 7 to 30 grams. However, all of them are somehow suitable for catching pike, sometimes “distracted” to catch another predator.
Virtues
-
low purchase price (in comparison with similar models);
-
high degree of catchability;
-
Five size options and an abundance of color schemes;
-
nontrivial movement, changing when changing the intensity of the wiring.
disadvantages
- not found.
Mepps comet
Rating: 4.5
A series of spinning spinners from the French manufacturer Mepps was developed with priority perch fishing, but it was also widely used for fishing with a large, toothy predator. The French did not begin to invent something unique, preferring the universal form of the petal, which winds up at low speeds of wiring and is resistant when fishing on the current. In terms of size ranges, the Comet series is also optimal. The smallest in its family is the model PTS 2, the weight of which does not exceed 4.5 grams. Next come the larger PTS 3 and 4, with, in general, a similar structure and the ability to work on pike.
The luring ability of this spinner is based on the double action of the petal: high-frequency rotation and the accompanying visual effect created by the melting of bright dots on a solid (gold or silver) background. Extremely low cost models, the acquisition of which is not alien even to high-class professionals of fishing, became the apogee of Comet superiority over competitors.
Virtues
-
double luring effect provided by a petal (dynamic and visual);
-
stable work in stagnant water and with medium-weak current;
-
start of rotation immediately after immersion in water;
-
Excellent quality manufacturing and low purchase price.
disadvantages
- not found.
Best pike lures
ZIPBAITS ORBIT 110 SP
Rating: 4.9
A bright representative of the company ZipBaits occupies the highest line of the rating due to the unified geometry of the body, giving the minera new behavioral faces. The deviation from the canonical view is enclosed in an enlarged crook in the dorsal part, which contributes to the occurrence of vertical movements in addition to reloading the wobbler from side to side. In addition, the Orbit 110-mm suspender is easily controlled on the water, can be used for various postings and flies quite far when casting (due to the presence of a floating balancer). As for external data, the lure was able to distinguish itself from the best side. Durability of the lacquer coating was repeatedly noted by domestic anglers who used this bait for several fishing seasons. In addition, the variety is different and colors - those in the range of about 50.
Despite such a perfect description of ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP, it ran into a serious image problem that unwittingly reduced the number of ardent fans of the series. The reason here lies in the fact that the growing popularity of the wobbler and the rather high cost caused a wave of stuffing fakes, the technical characteristics of which cannot be compared with the original.
Virtues
-
optimal overall performance (110 millimeters in length. 16.5 grams of weight);
-
good casting distance;
-
the ability to work on the depth horizon from 80 to 100 centimeters;
-
48 colors in the range of the line;
-
versatility in terms of applying postings.
disadvantages
- presence on the market of low-quality fakes.
Yo-Zuri L-Minnow
Rating: 4.8
A step away from the leading position, one of the most successful wobbler series stops and the entire history of this market segment. L-Minnow from the company Yo-Zuri is a successful attempt to create a bait, the texture of the body and the color of which exactly repeat the look of a real fry.It is known for certain that the minnow data concepts consisted of 4 lengths within a single line, but today (mainly because of its great popularity), only 44 and 66 millimeters models can be found on the market. Nevertheless, even such a modest gradation in size does not prevent the small L-Minnow from showing excellent results in catching large fish - the main victim of the good looks of a wobbler is the pike and the perch overlooking.
The game of representatives of this line is characterized by high intensity, the description of which is best suited to the word "melteshenie." Even with a uniform wiring, the minnow shows increased twitching, which immediately catches the eye of attentive fish and provokes the latter to smash the attack. As a result, a wobbler almost always wins this competition, allowing only 2-3% of cases to go.
Virtues
-
good wobbler handling with different wiring styles;
-
high catch of pike and perch;
-
wide range of colors within the range;
-
the possibility of catching koryazhnikov, stony mounds and grassy locations.
disadvantages
- high price.
Megabass Vision 110
Rating: 4.8
Another loud flagship company Megabass, the development of which was carried out with the aim of productive work on the reservoir to catch the bass. Having several deviations from the classical minnow fish forms (enlarged crotch in the dorsal part), Vision has a 110-mm body adapted for catching in the predominantly upper layers of water bodies (with a depth of 1 meter). As a balancer, a floating load system is implemented in it, the role of which, with full responsibility, is assumed by the tungsten cylinder. When casting, the center of gravity shifts to the tail, giving the bait an impulse to increase the flight distance. After diving, a gradual displacement of the load to the head of the wobbler occurs, which positively affects the dynamics of its movement (not only horizontal, but also vertical wiggle) in the course of the posting.
But the main factor in choosing Megabass Vision 110 is the possibility of conducting wiring at any level of intensity, be it a uniform passage, stepped jig or aggressive twitching. The wobbler perfectly shows itself in all these manners of fishing, opening new facets to anglers. The only significant drawback of this model is the high price level, which (within reasonable target spending) can only be ardent fans of fishing.
Virtues
-
the great popularity of bait in the domestic market;
-
full compatibility with various fishing styles;
-
optimum quality;
-
good flight data;
-
implemented floating balance system.
disadvantages
- high cost.
RAPALA Husky Jerk
Rating: 4.7
Competitive classic minnow from the Finnish company Rapala was ranked due to the extraordinary popularity of anglers who prefer universal bait to catch various predators. In this regard, Huky Jerk is simply incomparable: going deeper by 120-240 centimeters, it catches not only pike, but also pike perch, brown trout, perch, as well as river trout and salmon. The main method of catching this wobbler is to make a very neat approach to a flock of fry - the main thing in this situation is to choose the right color. Chaotic running of the fry when the predator appears will create the necessary confusion, and if you set this bait a small impulse to move, it will inevitably become the “victim” of the attack.
As for the dimensional parameters of the Husky Jerk, within the range of such there are as many as 5 - from 60 to 140 millimeters in increments every 20 units of length. Their weight varies between 3 and 18 grams, causing the appearance of good flight data from larger models. The price parameter can be called the only more or less serious drawback of the model; however, when looking at quality, it does not seem so overpriced.
Virtues
-
high quality workmanship;
-
availability of five standard sizes within one series (from 60 to 140 millimeters);
-
good flight data from the "senior" crank;
-
realistic appearance;
-
abundance of natural colors.
disadvantages
- quite high price.
Jackall Smash Minnow 110 SP
Rating: 4.6
The lure, created in the best traditions of customization for real fish fry, successfully competing with the equally famous L-Minnow line from Yo-Zuri. Especially conservative in terms of colors (at the moment, manufacturers have prepared only 6), Smash Minnow continues to enjoy the fame of the most provocative bait, forcing predators to go into a thoughtless attack. One of the characteristic pieces of this wobbler is the original balancing, which gives the wobbler a reinforced slope on the side faces during wiring. Such a swinging movement simply cannot pass by the attention of the fish, and it is through it that the bait implements such successful provocations.
With a length of 110 millimeters, the Smash Minnow Suspender has a weight in the region of 19 grams. Such impressive dimensions allow fishermen to fish for lure without any hard work from the coastline. As for the depth horizon, in general, it is not so great. With the active wiring, the minnow goes into the water no more than 80 centimeters, where it perfectly catches a big pike, a chereshka and a pike perch (closer to twilight).
Virtues
-
excellent pike catch;
-
accurate reproduction of the texture of the body of a real fry;
-
optimal overall dimensions, facilitating the possibility of casting from the shore;
-
adaptation of color solutions mainly for natural colors of fish.
disadvantages
- high cost in retail.
The best vibro tails on a pike
Crazy fish vibro fat
Rating: 4.9
The leading line of the rating is occupied by a reliable jig vibrotail, the main advantage of which is expressed in the strict observance of the balance in the component of softness / hardness. Actually, this fact makes optimal and other important characteristics, such as strength, tensile properties and the ability to absorb attractants. The last in the series, by the way, as many as 6 - ranging from the standard aromas of fish oil, and ending with the specific odors of mollusks and crustaceans.
As for the dimensional variations, within the Vibro Fat line, they lie within 71-120 millimeters, providing different amplitudes of tail span with a massive fifth. In terms of durability of use, these silicones are unparalleled, showing excellent results both in the preservation component and in the price ratio.

many color options (solid, component and with the introduction of sparkles);
-
excellent balancing of the material according to the parameter of softness / hardness;
-
the presence of attractants in the base view;
-
high degree of "vitality" of the tail;
-
three standard sizes within one ruler (70, 100 and 125 millimeters).
disadvantages
- not found.
Fox Rage Fork Tail
Rating: 4.8
The opinion of a large number of anglers V-shaped silicone bait are among the most worthless among all species diversity. However, the advent of the Fox Rage Fork Tail market has managed to significantly change the state of things and return a bit of consumer confidence to this unallocated class. Outwardly very similar to fish fry, this silicone has a grainy (scaly) texture, realistic enough to convince a predator of "liveliness."
Fork Tail is available in three sizes: 100, 135 and 180 millimeters, each of which is suitable for pike fishing. All the work to attract attention to his person is performed by a sensitive V-shaped tail, working freely with offset hooks, and with jig heads. To enhance the luring effect, anglers recommend using this silicone with attractants containing fish oil extract. Such a measure will allow to exclude any fluctuation of the predator and provoke it to an immediate attack of the hook.
Virtues
-
magnificent luring condition;
-
three dimensional variations within one series;
-
good value for money;
-
the possibility of soaking with attractants;
-
realistic appearance.
disadvantages
- a thin tail breaks easily when hooked.
Mann’s samba
Rating: 4.7
The original concept of a vibrotail from the Mann company was to the liking of domestic lovers of catching toothed predators. The unique form of Samba contains a downward triple groove from the body to the tail, which allows the silicone to make a complex multi-directional movement along the wiring. This bait has only one size in its series (80 millimeters long), equally suitable for catching medium-sized fish and for dragging a real trophy from the water.
A variety of colors and design make Mann’s Samba one of the most versatile lures that can be used for any conditions of harvested water. Among the other advantages of this vibrotail is a very low cost and method of distribution - 5 pieces in one pack. This is a great bait for use by beginners, which is very convenient to sharpen the technique of jig fishing.
Virtues
-
the abundance of undercuts and transition elements that have a positive impact on the game of bait;
-
abundance of color variations (about 23 pieces);
-
durable manufacturing material;
-
the ability to catch predators of any size (from small to large).
disadvantages
- not found.
The best pike twisters
SAVAGE GEAR Monster Slug 20
Rating: 4.9
The unique leader in the ranking is the unique in terms of the set of characteristics, SAVAGE GEAR Monster Slug 20, which is a non-standard twister with the outlines of the body of a full-fledged fish. As a luring element here is a thin tail, made in the form of two small antennae. When wiring, the current creates very intense vibrations in the tail section, which creates the illusion of a fast fry. This is in many ways and provokes the predator to attack, forcing him to rush thoughtlessly after skillfully executed bait.
Despite the fact that SAVAGE GEAR Monster Slug 20 is predominantly a marine bait, domestic fishermen have adapted it well and under the conditions of fishing in small waters. The specificity of the size (200 millimeters of length and 30 grams of weight) performs the function of sifting out small fish, guaranteeing the bite of a real trophy. Therefore, when applying this twister, you should always be on your guard - a sudden jerk can discourage even the most experienced angler.
Virtues
-
optimal balance of price and quality;
-
large overall dimensions, enabling fishing in the sea;
-
interesting game forked tail;
-
several basic color options (5 pieces).
disadvantages
- not found.
MANN`S TWISTER 040 CH
Rating: 4.8
The bravado classic from the company Mann has perfectly got accustomed in domestic reservoirs, for which it received a well-deserved place in the ranking of the best. Its strength is its versatility, which makes it possible to catch small fish on a microjig, and in the next instant wipe the haul of a trophy predator. This duality is promoted by a combination of a decent length (120 millimeters) and low weight, requiring the addition of a loading element to the bait system.
Everything from the movement of the tail to the corrugation of the body is subordinated to the classical ways. It is noteworthy that the most catchy of the entire collection of colors MANN`S TWISTER was a bright 040 CH saturated lemon color. At the same time, it cannot be said that other options manifest themselves to an order of magnitude worse, but this was how it was originally instituted. But the real key factor in the purchase of this bait was the fact that when packing in 10 pieces it costs quite a bit and also has good strength properties. As a result: one full bag can easily be enough for 5 seasons of fishing.
Virtues
-
universality in terms of applicable entries;
-
optimal size for big pike fishing;
-
high popularity among domestic fishermen;
-
reasonable price for a set (10 pieces).
disadvantages
- not found.
Pontoon 21 Homunculures Hightailer
Rating: 4.7
The third contender of the twisters rating is the classic silicone with an elongated body, the game of which is characterized by high intensity and appeals to the thoughtless reflexes of the toothy predator. Pontoon 21 Homunculures Hightailer is available in two sizes (70 and 83 millimeters), the difference between which is practically imperceptible. The smaller model has slightly sharper movements, which are not only pike, but smaller predators (such as chub, perch and ide). In turn, the large model works for expressiveness, giving a kind of click when posting on the tail.
In addition to the features of the movement, Pontoon 21 Homunculures Hightailer is distinguished by an abundance of colors for any conditions of the fished waters. As noted in the reviews, a packing method providing for the sale of a twister in a set of 5 or 6 pieces (depending on size) gives a no less advantage to this bait.
Virtues
-
low price;
-
several size options in the lineup;
-
more than 15 color options;
-
the possibility of using silicone with single and double hooks.
disadvantages
- low strength of the tail - frequent breaks from the hook are frequent.
