Pike casting rod

Pike fishing is a very popular activity with anglers. The pike is a fascinating fish, and the challenge it offers has made it famous. This predator is known for its sharp, cutting teeth. To catch them, you need the right equipment, like a strong pike fishing rod, and the right technique.

Casting rods for better pike stalking

The choice of rod is crucial. While spinning rods are traditionally the most popular choice for pike fishing, casting rods have also proved their worth. More modern, they offer considerable power and casting range. Ideal for animating lures.

The Savage Gear range of casting rods offers modern models for fast, powerful action. For pike stalking, the Sakura Speciz 2.0 742 XH Pike Game casting rod is ideal for animating swimbaits. For the more experienced angler there's the Dobyns range of rods. Kevlar-reinforced blank, Medium Moderate Fast action, power from 7 to 56g (or 224g for the Dobyns Fury 795 SB, or 840g for the Champion 908 MAG SB) and a size ranging from 1.98m to 2.74m... these rods will give anglers the ultimate experience.

Pike: intense fishing

The pike is a tough fish that can be aggressive. This makes it one of the most popular fish among anglers. A good catch can exceed 10 kg. But stalking this freshwater predator requires the right equipment: reels, lines, staples, inserts, beads for bullet sinkers and so on.

Apart from the choice of pike casting rod, lures are also important. You'll have a choice between fishing with livebaits or lures. For beginners, spoons are best. You can then move on to jerkbaits, spinnerbaits or jigs.

Finally, don't forget the reel. Pike are big fish, so your reel must be up to the task. Keep a close eye on the power of the drag.
