The pike is the most common predator in the fresh waters of the northern hemisphere. Its fishing is carried out in different ways, but spinning options will most often help to achieve success. An important point will be the ability to collect tackle for catching pike on spinning correctly, only then the catch will delight the angler.
Features of spinning equipment for pike fishing
A variety of predators live in the reservoirs of the middle zone, the most common are perch and pike. They are caught using various methods, including artificial lures. Spinning blanks for catching perch and pike are similar in many ways, but there are also differences. Nevertheless, the pike is a larger and stronger fish, so the tackle for it should be collected more powerfully.
The main features in the selection of gear for pike are:
- power, tackle should easily withstand trophy specimens of a toothy resident, even with her resistance;
- with clear water, the invisibility of gear is important, a pike can be frightened away by a thick base or leash;
- shiny fittings will also scare off potential prey, so it is better to choose anti-reflective options;
- baits are selected depending on the season, this important postulate should be remembered by everyone.
Otherwise, the preparation of spinning is no different from collecting gear for other predators from a reservoir.
6 tackle collection rules
How to properly equip a spinning rod for pike fishing cannot be answered unambiguously, because each season has its own baits that need to be cast with gear of different characteristics. However, there are general rules, following which you can equip a spinning rod for a pike. Next, we will dwell on each of the components in more detail.
Şikil
Spinning tackle for any predator is formed on a blank, which can have different characteristics. Suitable for pike can be represented as follows:
coil
The most common option is a meat grinder or inertialess, it is used for spinning blanks of any type. The size of the spool is selected based on the test indicators, but it must be metal. This option is suitable for any base, both for fishing line and cord.
The gear ratio must be at least 5,2:1, such a coil can easily catch even decent-sized trophies.
bingeh
Pike spinning equipment for beginners is most often carried out with a fishing line as a base, a braided line is used by more advanced anglers. However, some experts recommend starting fishing with braid, so with more delicate gear it will be possible to carry lures of significant weight that attract trophy specimens.
Terikandin
It is imperative to use this component, it will help not to lose all the tackle when hooked on snags or grass. To equip gear for pike, different types are used:
- tungsten;
- steel leash;
- ben;
- kevlar;
- titanium;
- fluorocarbon.
Each of the above options will have its own advantages and disadvantages.
Findings
Installation of a spinning rod, and indeed any other fishing tackle, is impossible without the use of fittings. Various small components fall under this concept:
- swivels;
- fasteners;
- zengilên pêça.
They are chosen of good quality and as small as possible so as not to burden the equipment.
Baits
This part of the gear must be selected especially carefully, the successful outcome of fishing almost completely depends on it. For pike and perch fishing:
- spinners;
- spinners;
- wobblers;
- silicone and foam rubber fish of different sizes and shapes.
You also need to be able to pick up baits, it is advisable for a beginner to first consult with a more experienced friend and only then go shopping.
It is now known how to equip spinning, and it is a kind of art to assemble tackle correctly. Components are selected according to the seasons and features of the places of fishing.
Selection of gear for the seasons
Tackle for catching pike on spinning may differ, it all depends on the baits used and the characteristics of the reservoir where fishing is planned. Lures, in turn, are chosen based on the time of year, since in spring and autumn it is unlikely that you will be able to catch a predator on the same bait. To accurately be with the catch, you need to know all the subtleties of the selection.
Bihar
After a long stay under the ice with the first warm days in open water, the pike comes out to bask in the shallows. Depending on the weather conditions and the peculiarities of spring, small baits are used, spinning is equipped with these subtleties. In the spring it will be convenient to catch on:
- forms up to 2,4 m long with test values up to 15 g;
- the spool for equipment is chosen with no more than 2000 spool sizes;
- as a base, a braided cord is better suited, the diameter of which does not exceed 0,1 mm;
- baits are selected small in size and in the range of test indicators.
During this period, it is better to use the version of fluorocarbon as a leash, no more than 0,2 mm thick.
Havîn
In hot weather, pike seek shelter in deep holes where the water is cooler. Therefore, baits are used heavier than for spring. Pike spinning equipment for the summer should be as follows:
- a form with a test of up to 20 g, but the length is chosen depending on the place of fishing;
- from the coastline, a form up to 2,4 m is suitable, the watercraft will shorten it to 2 m;
- reel of inertialess type with a spool size of not more than 2000 made of metal;
- tackle is formed in most cases on a braided line, a thickness of 0,12 -0,14 mm will be quite enough;
- as a bait, a wobbler and silicone with sufficient weight are used.
Leashes are required, any options that were listed above will do.
Payiz
With a decrease in air temperature, the water becomes cooler, and this is exactly what the pike was waiting for. In autumn, the predator is especially active, so the tackle must be formed strong:
- for fishing from the shore, blanks from 10 g with a length of 2,4 m are chosen, shorter rods are chosen for boats, 2,1 m is enough, the test indicators are the same;
- a reel with 3000 metal spools will be a great option for this time of year;
- we collect tackle for pike on a cord, the diameter of which should be at least 0,18 mm;
- leashes are set larger, here we are no longer talking about invisibility;
- large ones are used, the pike will be happy to hunt for larger prey, but a trifle can be left completely unattended.
Turntables and small silicone are not used at all during this period, perch are caught on spinning with such baits, and larger options are chosen for pike.
In winter, spinning blanks are not caught, the only exception will be reservoirs where the water does not freeze at all. In this case, long-range rods with a significant test are used, their minimum should not fall below 15 g.
How to collect tackle for spinning for pike is now clear, it remains to observe all the subtleties and go fishing.

Collecting spinning gear for a predator is important, but for successful fishing you need to know some more secrets and subtleties. We will open some of them now:
- in spring for pike it is better to use a fluorocarbon leash;
- in autumn, invisibility fades into the background, strength becomes an important criterion for tackle, so leashes are used from steel and string;
- in the spring, the pike will respond perfectly to turntables and a small-sized wobbler like a minnow, but in the fall they use large-sized oscillators and the same minnows, but from 100 mm in size;
- tees on baits should be periodically checked and changed to sharper ones, then the number of exits can be minimized.
Xelasî
With each fishing trip, the angler receives invaluable personal experience that can be put into practice or passed on to family and friends.
It became clear how to equip a spinning rod for a pike, all the subtleties of collecting gear are revealed. It remains only to apply the acquired knowledge in practice and catch your trophy.
