The spinnerbait is an all-purpose lure designed for pike fishing. The spinnerbait is a great asset when you're looking for pike in obstacles or vegetation at the start of the season or during the summer. Long sidelined in France due to unsuitable sizes and weights, spinnerbaits are now perfectly suited to the constraints of pike fishing. That's why we we wanted you select 5 pike spinnerbaits essentials that have proven themselves over the years.
Deps B-Custom: a slow rolling spinnerbait suitable for pike
The Deps B-CUSTOM is a special slow rolling spinnerbait, ideal for prospecting water columns of up to 3 metres. The head is particularly wide to give maximum resistance to the water and produce maximum turbulence.
This makes it an ideal spinnerbait for attracting the attention of pike. Its size, weight and solidity make it a weapon of choice in the search for pike, as it is strong and effective. The only problem is that the silicone skirt is held in place by a simple elastic band. It's essential to change it or you'll lose it quickly after a few pikes...
OSP Typhoon: the benchmark pike spinnerbait
TheOSP Typhoon is an exceptional spinnerbait ideal for pike fishing. With a N°7 tail blade on the 1 oz (28gr) model, the Typhoonse is one of the largest spinnerbaits on the market. Enough to attract the biggest pike. Despite its impressive dimensions, the Typhoonse is still very fluid and has a measured drag even in 5 metres of water thanks to the special profile of its blades.
The Typhoon also works very well in slow rolling. However, the size of its paddles requires fishing taut on the descent to trigger their rotation.
Fox Rage Pike Spinnerbait
This spinnerbait from Fox Rage is extremely versatile and is equally attractive to pike and other predators. It produces a high volume of visual and vibratory signals. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with a trailer lure. For pike fishing, we recommend the 28g size.
Megabass Super V-Flat: a classic among classics
The special feature of the Megabass Super V-Flat is its extremely compact design. In addition, the shape of its weight gives it enormous rolling, unusual on compact spinnerbaits. This makes it an asset in our pike fishery.
The curvature of the lower part of the lure is very flexible, maximising catches when pike are timidly attacking the spinnerbait. The shape of the head, largely inspired by that of the original Megabass V Flat, has been redesigned to work even better through obstacles and weedbeds. This makes it an even more all-round spinnerbait, allowing you to go after pike in the deepest of obstacles.
Booyah Super Shad
With its ball swivel and 4 willow leaf paddles, this spinnerbait imitates a group of small fish to perfection. With multiple vibrations at different frequencies, the Booyah Super Shad is a spinnerbait that will appeal to all types of predator, including pike.
