Black vs Light Lures for NIGHT FISHING?! 🌘🐊 (Pike Fishing Challenge)

Rule number one when it comes to night-time pike fishing is to use black lures in order to create the maximum silhouette against the sky. It all makes sense on paper, but is it really true or just something we’ve told ourselves for decades without really trying? Well, we’re here for you in the name of science to try to bring some clarity to the matter...

I think with a bit of light, Uv colours with some contrast are the best like Firetiger but in the real night I think it is mostly about how translucent the lures are. And a lure were you can' t see through is the best.

I use baitcaster for pike fishing and spinning reels for perch, trout and zander. The reason for using baitcaster is because i feel more confident casting bigger lures plus i love how smooth they are.

i use baitcasters for pike fishing when i have bigger lures like 60-150g and spinning for perch and trout and that kind of smaller fish

I always use bait caster for pike and musky. Better control over lure at the end of a cast. Also allows for better hand and wrist comfort and position. Spinning for walleye/zander.

You’r hook ratio may be better with hooks on top since the bottom jaw of the fish is the one used to open and close so wen they hit and u set the hook it is easier for the fish to open it’s bottom jaw and push it away from the trebles. If the trebles were on top I could set the hook up every time and get them in the top of their mouth which they can’t move away from the trebles as easy. They will open the bottom jaw to move away and you will set in the top of the mouth pulling the fish up because most fish swim down after a hit you’ll get twice the pressure with your hook sets.

Helt med dig Pontus, de känner av vibrationer och tryckförändringar mer än vad vi tror!

[@nichouladu11]

Salut ! Super vidéo !! :) Essayez de pêcher toutes une journée avec un leurres que vous détestez. Ça serait cool de savoir si vous levez quand même du brochet. :p

[@alexanderandersson3415]

i like using spinning rods/reels because i have always used them because they are lightwight idk if baitcasters are too but thats why i like them

For night time barramundi fishing in India, light coloured lures outscore dark ones fairly consistently. The exception is when there are big tides and the water isn't clear - then the black lures work better.
