The DEPS Evoke 4.0 est tout simplement le plus gros squarebill cranckbait du marché à l’heure actuelle. Avec ses 10 cm pour 56 gr, ce crankbait présente un rapport taille / poids phénoménal. Ces dimensions XXL ont font un cranckbait à brochet de choix qui a souvent fait ses preuves sur notre territoire. Il s’agit d’un silent crankbait initialement conçu pour les énormes black bass du Japon et Etats-Unis. Il fera notamment ses preuves sur des milieux à forte pression de pêche. Nous le sélectionnerons pour la recherche des gros brochets dans les obstacles comme les rochers, les bois ou les herbiers.
This pike crankbait comes alive even at low speed and has a very wide rolling movement which displaces a lot of water. The crankbait has a wide lip, but is short enough to be used with a standard swimbait rod. The density of this crankbait means you can cast it very far without ever straining your arm. What's more, it can descend to a maximum depth of 4 metres. This allows the Deps Evoke 4.0 prospect several depths and quickly target areas of activity.
If there's one crankbait that every pike angler should own, it's the Zip Baits B Switcher 4.0 "No Rattle. Whether for pike or other predators, this crankbait is extremely effective. The B-Switcher 4.0 Can be cast from a very good distance and with precision thanks to the work done on its mass transfer. We recommend the "no rattle" version which has proved its worth time and time again on wary fish or in areas of high fishing pressure.
Its large lip makes it dive very quickly and protects it from obstacles. This allows it to avoid obstacles and go after the pike wherever it finds it. The B Switcher 4.0 No Rattle by Zip Baits est LE crankbait de référence reconnu et utilisé par tous les compétiteurs à travers le monde.
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 pike and big predator crankbaits despite the years.
TheOSP Blitz Max DR est un deep crankbait géant capable de sélectionner les gros carnassiers comme le brochet. Ce crankbait nouvelle génération excelle en distance et précision de lancer malgré sa longue bavette. Le corps semi plat brasse plus d’eau et génère plus de flashs à la récupération.
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 as beingone of the best deep crankbaits on the market and a very good choice for deep pike fishing.
The Jonny Vobbler from Strike Pro is a pike crankbait for many, many years in northern Europe. Stocky, big and heavy, it displaces an impressive amount of water on the retrieve. It's an ideal prospecting crankbait for quickly spotting active pike.
With a length of 15cm, we advise you to use this lure mainly on shallow areas, up to 1.5m.
Its profile allows it to be cast particularly far, and the absence of sound will give it an advantage in heavily fished waters. The Jonny Vobbler We think it's a perfect compromise between size/colour/shape and swimming ability and an ideal complement to the Buster for exploring edges and shallow areas.
