The TRUTH about PIKE FISHING

I would rather watch The Blues than go dead baiting.

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!.

[@SnaggedBro]

This is awesome! Has he been catching much??

[@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

[@i-Mac85]

@@SnaggedBro come up 😉

[@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 👊🏼

[@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!

[@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.

Love deadbaiting. Ice cold winter afternoon, wrapped up in me chair. Watching the geese fly over, brew on the go. Then that dead fish starts swimming. Nothing like it.

[@SnaggedBro]

Can't beat it! 👊🏼

[@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]

Thanks mate! We really appreciate the support!

[@richardjeal6902]

I'm with Tom on the subject of lures versus dead bait. Yes dead bait will catch the bigger Pike but I prefer the more mobile approach to pike fishing and there's nothing to beat adrenaline rush you get when a pike hits your lure. Still love this channel. You guys show pike fishing as it is for most of us (except the Ginger fisherman). Some days it can be a long grind of catching snags and loosening lures 😢. But then there's the occasional day when everything goes right and the pike are on the feed and it can be marvellous.

[@SnaggedBro]

The excitement of a bite of a lure doesn't compare on our books! ❤️

[@paddypeet3878]

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 😎

[@SnaggedBro]

Keep trying Bro! It will come!!

I wanna see more of you boys deadbaiting. Iv had 4 20lb plus fish ranging from 22lb to 27lb with a 26lber being my second biggest. Big baits lads the biggest mackerel you can get chop it's head off and youl get in to som bigguns. Cutting the head off releases alot more blood as its where most of the blood is Sardines and blueys ace too

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.

Dead bait twitching is the way forward. Pull the trace through the dead baits mouth and out the gill. That way you have a line thru dead bait what won't come off on the cast
