DEPS Evoke 4.0: An XXL crankbait cut for pike
The DEPS Evoke 4.0 is quite simply the biggest squarebill cranckbait on the market today. At 10 cm long and weighing 56 g, this crankbait has a phenomenal size-to-weight ratio. These XXL dimensions make this a pike crankbait of choice that has often proved its worth on our territory. This silent crankbait was originally designed for the huge black bass of Japan and the United States. It will prove its worth in environments where fishing pressure is high. We've selected it for the search for big pike in obstacles such as rocks, woods or weedbeds.

This pike crankbait comes to life even at low speeds and has a very wide rolling action that moves a lot of water. ll possĂšde une large bavette, mais assez courte pour que sont utilisation avec une canne swimbait classique soit agrĂ©able. La densitĂ© de ce crankbait fait que lâon peut le lancer aussi trĂšs loin sans jamais forcer sur son bras. De plus, il peut descendre Ă une profondeur maximale de 4 mĂštres. Cela permet au Deps Evoke 4.0 de prospecter plusieurs profondeurs et de rapidement cibler les zones d’activitĂ©.

If there's one crankbait that every pike angler should own, it's the Zip Baits B Switcher 4.0 "No Rattle. Que ce soit sur le brochet, mais aussi tout les autres carnassiers, ce crankbait est redoutable d’efficacitĂ©. Le B-Switcher 4.0 se lance Ă trĂšs bonne distance et avec prĂ©cision grĂące au travail fait sur son transfert de masse. Nous recommandons la version « no rattle » (silencieuse) qui a fait Ă mainte reprise ses preuves sur des poissons mĂ©fiants ou dans des zones Ă forte pression de pĂȘche.
Sa grande bavette le fait plonger trĂšs rapidement et le protĂšge des obstacle. Cela lui permet de les Ă©viter sans encombre et d’aller chercher le brochet lĂ oĂč il se trouve. Le B Switcher 4.0 No Rattle de Zip Baits est LE crankbait de rĂ©fĂ©rence reconnu et utilisĂ© par tous les compĂ©titeurs Ă travers le monde.
Rapala Super Shad Rap: A world reference

The Super Shad Rap is a benchmark for stalking large predators, including pike. Evolving between 2 and 3m, this hybrid crankbait dives quickly but can also, at low recovery speed, work close to the surface.
Its extremely strong through metal frame allows it to withstand repeated attacks from predators. Considered as a crankbait, it also reacts very well to large pulls as one could do on an exo jerkbait. It then dives on recovery and floats on release, which is a very good solution to get over obstacles.
Exceptional efficiency and great versatility. In our opinion, this is what makes the Rapala Super Shad Rap one of the best crankbaits for pike and big predators, despite the years.
OSP Blitz Max DR: A perfect deep crankbait for pike

The OSP Blitz Max DR is a giant deep crankbait capable of targeting large predators such as pike. This new generation crankbait excels in distance and casting accuracy despite its long lip. The body is semi-flat, which means it takes in more water and generates more flashes on the retrieve.
Its great swimming depth (0 to 4.5 metres) allows this big crankbait to explore deep spots often rich in beautiful specimens. Its high buoyancy also contributes to a significant reduction in the number of hooks. We consider the Blitz Max DR comme Ă©tant lâun des meilleurs deep crankbaits du marchĂ© et un trĂšs bon choix pour pĂȘcher le brochet en profondeur.
Strike Pro Jonny Vobbler: the ultimate pike crankbait

The Jonny Vobbler de Strike Pro est un crankbait brochet incontournable depuis de trĂšs nombreuses annĂ©es dans le nord de l’Europe. Trapu, grand et lourd, il dĂ©place une impressionnante quantitĂ© d’eau Ă la rĂ©cupĂ©ration. C’est un crankbait de prospection idĂ©al pour repĂ©rer rapidement les brochets actifs.
15cm longWe advise you to use this lure mainly in shallow areas of up to 1.5m.
Son profil lui permet de se lancer particuliĂšrement loin, et l’absence de sonoritĂ© donnera un avantage dans des eaux trĂšs pĂȘchĂ©es. Le Jonny Vobbler est selon nous un parfait compromis entre taille/couleur /forme et nage et un complĂ©ment idĂ©al du Buster pour prospecter les bordures et les zones peu profondes.
