I would rather watch The Blues than go dead baiting.

Take care in those derelict stands 😬😂

I hate the wait,so using lures or flies is way way better, i do some walking have some beers inbetween spots and go home tired and happy :)))

[@caileanmccracken9588]

Something special about seeing that float Bob and then go under, usually stick to deadbait when it's really cold, but have a chuck about with a lure to stay active at the same time. Class vid as always lads!

[@SnaggedBro]

Certainly is! Thanks for comment mate!.

You two are fishing legends, love your videos, never a dull moment

[@SnaggedBro]

Thanks bro! 👊👊

[@i-Mac85]

Quality video as always 🤣 As much as I love lure Fishing, I must admit I love deadbaiting. Nothing better than sitting under a brolly in the middle of winter in the pissing rain chilling. On the big Scottish Lochs it can often be more productive than lures during the cold months

[@SnaggedBro]

Oh I bet! Sounds awesome

😂 Glad you enjoy the content mate! More to come!

[@AmyWinehouse.914]

The reason bigger pike take more bottom baits is they're slower than your active Jacks so cruise the bottom looking for an easy meal.Jacks will respond to a quicker moving bait like a spinner,live bait or a moving deadbait.

[@SnaggedBro]

Great shout that is 👊🏼

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

I do a bit of deadbaiting and this is my thoughts, yes its not as enjoyable as lure fishing for mw, but when you see that float starting to move its like a electric shock to the system, i tend to turn to deadbaits when it gets really cold Rig wise, i would just say with the two trebles, and it looks as though you had your float fixed in place, if you change to having a sliding stop knot above the float, the the float can come down to the top of your trace which helps with casting and playing fish

[@SnaggedBro]

Nice one mate! Thanks for watching.

[@pagey5323]

Lure is pure ! Love the search, the exercise and the graft to get that take nothing else is so rewarding , BUT would love a couple of hours with a big deadbait to see what comes knocking 👀

[@Mooskellunge]

keep in mind, a lure is just fake bait!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

😂😂 cracking watch as always lads. Definitely agree with lure over dead’s. It’s that thrill isn’t on the lure and constantly on the go. That is until you see that big ass float sail away. Hopefully out on the dead’s myself Monday 🤞

[@SnaggedBro]

Good luck Steve! Thanks for watching mate.

[@philipclift7205]

In canada we are not allowed to dead bait. The theory is that the fish take the bait too deeply damaging the gills and stomach. Both english heritage countries have arrived at different regulations. Interesting. Great channel.

[@shauncorless8965]

I've been dead baiting for nearly 50 yrs ,had some right lumps ,but never above a15 lb on spinning 👍

I will get a 20 on a lure!!! One day

[@jeffmcevoy1855]

Well in lads, another great video. Never done dead baiting was thinking of giving it a go, thanks for the tips. What about having a dead bait between two of you on a bait runner so two of you can do a bit of lure either side?

[@SnaggedBro]

Good idea!

[@brummiedoug1]

Great vid again lads,but if you went back to change over to lures why didn’t you take the new net with you coz I think it had a longer handle and you had a problem getting the pike out . But thanks again for making great films 😊

We should had a bigger pile for the net for sure! Thanks for watching

Been on the rods for two weeks straight on the canals with a bro of mine n to say it’s been slow is an understatement 😂 2 full blacks and only one session with a double hook up in about 5 mins of each other, still love it it’s all about the graft the pike the reward 😎

I've just started pike fishing but have yet to catch one. I usually fish carp or do some coarse fishing in lakes. Started on rivers a couple of weeks ago, it's slower but it's more rewarding, mostly catching perch, roach, bleak ect. To catch the pike I'm using lures of different sizes and I'm fishing a river that apparently holds a lot of pike but I just can't fucking do it 😭

Keep casting and trying!!! They will come!!! Keep changing the venues and trying different lures. Maybe even a deadbait session could help build some confidence 👊🏼 good luck!
