How do I choose a pike rod?
They need to be light and easy to handle in tight spots, which gives shorter rods an advantage. If you want a rod to cast lures long distances from the bank then a longer rod will be required. The balance between the strength of the rod and the weight of the lure will also have to be correct.
What is the best line for jerk baits?
fluorocarbon line
Small diameter fluorocarbon line is a must for jerkbait fishing for a number of reasons. First, since jerkbait fishing is largely a clear-water technique, and since fluorocarbon is difficult for fish to detect, it is a perfect choice.
What size rod is best for pike?
A great pike fishing rod is usually 8-9 ft long and has a fast action with medium or medium-heavy power. This gives you good leverage and hooking ability when the pike strikes. Depending on the size of lures you intend to use, the casting weight of the rod may vary.
What line should I use for crankbaits?
monofilament
While all types of fishing lines will work when fishing with crankbaits, monofilament is still the best choice when comparing the pros and cons of all three line types.
Is copolymer line good for jerkbaits?
Definitely not a fan of mono or copolymer on jerkbaits, just too much stretch as others have said above. I like Sunline Reaction for jerkbaits and crankbaits.
Can pike bite through fluorocarbon?
Fluorocarbon is more abrasion resistant than monofilament and braids, so it has a better chance in contact with razor pike teeth. Most scientific sources also consider it much less visible to fish than monofilament and, especially, braid under water.
