Pike kit

What is a pike fishing set?

A pike fishing set needs to be able to be robust enough to handle the force that this fish can exert. This predator can be fished in different ways, so there are different types of pike fishing sets.

In all cases, a pike fishing set must maintain a reserve of power sizable enough to stay in control of the fight.

For optimal fishing comfort, it is important that the rod be equipped with fairly large rings to allow the big braids and big fluorocarbons to pass easily.

In addition, a long butt allows to reach important casting distances: an important quality for linear fishing so that your lure stays as long as possible at the desired fishing depth.

How to choose it?

To choose your pike fishing set, prioritize rods with large rings and a long butt. Then, as with any other set, ask yourself what techniques you want to use.

For example: A high rod with a good reserve of power will be perfectly suitable for drift fishing with a rig equipped with adapted hooks. Thanks to its length, you'll keep control over your lure on the way down, so you can strike quicker and miss fewer fish.

Conversely, if you want to fish for pike with large crankbaits, glass fibre rods with parabolic actions guarantee a lower number of drop-offs.
