Equipment for predator fishing

Predatory fish fishing requires investing in suitable fishing equipment for each species you will be seeking. While waiting for the fishing season to open, you need to carefully choose all the elements to make you a fisherman capable of practicing numerous fishing techniques.

To do it right, you need to have a rod for fishing and a carnivorous reel. Once you have this equipment at your disposal, you will turn to the choice of accessories. Pike fishing, for example, may require a float tube or specific pliers.

To be in compliance with the fishery federation's rules, it is necessary to respect certain rules for predatory fishing. It is often necessary to approach your approved association for fishing and protection of the aquatic environment to equip yourself with a fishing license.

You will then be able to find out about the different measures for environment protection, the dates of the fishing season opening and possibly the presence of pike populations. This could also be an opportunity to contribute to the protection of the aquatic environment yourself.

Once these steps have passed, you will, a few weeks after having practiced trout fishing, you will embark on the pike opening. Equipped with a rod casting Abu Garcia and a daiwa exceler reel, you will be ready to face your first tones.

A very important range of fishing rods

Fishing for carnivorous fish is probably the most popular practice in recent years. For this, manufacturers have competed with imagination to allow you to enjoy more and more efficient and light predator fishing rods.

You will find spinning rods for all uses. From sea to fresh water, from trout fishing to shark hunting, there is a model that will suit your most demanding and innovative techniques.

Casting rods will also be spoiled for choice. More modern and more popular among young people in recent years, these models allow predator fishing with one-handed throws and especially ease in the animations of big lures. Black Bass, Pike but also Sandre and why not Bar will be particularly targeted species.

Casting reel or Spinning reel for predator fishing

Once your rod is chosen, you will need to choose a reel for predator. Pike fishing or tuna fishing don't have the same requirements and should make a judicious and thoughtful choice.

Spinning reels will be able to excel in several fields of predatory fishing. They will be chosen to cast and animate small lures but also to be able to propel large lures for marine fish like tuna.

They indeed have the ability to be at ease during these phases of launch. It will also be easier to handle for many fishermen.

The choice for predator casting reels is different. Even though there is a certain modernity in using them, they prove to be particularly useful in certain very specific situations.

A casting reel Abu Garcia can thus be very comfortable with vertical fishing techniques. These types of reels will also serve for predator fishing with large lures with ease or for practicing jigging and slow jigging.

Fishing combos: Rod + reel

To make your choice easier, we offer sets for predator fishing. These include both the rod and the reel. They are designed to go perfectly together and respond to a particular search. Some brands like Daiwa also offer sets with the braid integrated.

Like the categories of reels and fishing rods, you can rely on both spinning and casting sets. They will directly depend on the technique you want to use but also on the lures you want to cast.

You will find light combos for trout or perch fishing. They often have fairly short rods with casting powers not exceeding 10-14g.

Intermediate models exist for sandre, pike, or even large perch fishing. These will be called MH or H. These are certainly the most versatile, capable of covering a wide range of techniques and lures.

Finally, there are heavier combos for predator fishing like catfish or very large pike. They will be called XH or XXH with large casting capacities that can exceed 200g for some.

Thousands of lures

This is without a doubt the category where you will have the most choice. Both consumable and inspiring collections, predator lures are the subject of thousands of developments every year, sometimes splendid, sometimes subtle, sometimes weird?

The swimbaits, or Rapala for the oldest among us, are imitations of fish that will swim thanks to their shape and their bib. Their weight combined with their action ensures a fairly stable swimming depth and a swim that will reproduce at each round trip.

Soft lures are not to be outdone. Even easier to produce, thousands of them are created each year. Actions, shapes, attractants…. Everything is done to offer you always new things to test and wake up pike populations.

There are many other forms of lures. They will thus try to cover uses that are still different for more adaptation to your situation.

Bottom lines and rigs

Once all the elements of fishing equipment are taken into account and ready to make your first pike opening, you should first think about your rigs and your bottom lines for predators. There are several and your choice will once again have to be based on the fish sought.

Steel will be easily chosen for a fish like pike. Its sharp teeth are sure to leave little chance to other materials.

Fluorocarbon will turn to species with less sharp teeth. The sandre, perch, and bar are the main targeted species. Large diameters can also suit pikes and catfish.

Finally, the braid, little used, may be an alternative to reducing the diameter when fishing for sandre.

All you have to do is get closer to your fish federation or your AAPPMA (approved association for fishing and protection of the aquatic environment) to get your fishing permit and make your Daiwa Exceler reel sing.
