    Why adapt your leader to the fishing conditions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I'm sure you'll agree that each type of lure has its own size, weight and swimming action. Any external element, if badly chosen, could influence the lure's swimming action and the way it interacts with the water. To optimise the presentation of the lure and maximise your chances of catching it, it is therefore essential to It is essential to adapt the leader to the lure so as not to restrict its swimming action.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, the smaller the lure, the finer and more supple the leader you need to make it swim optimally<\/strong>. The bigger and more imposing the lure, the more you can afford to use less flexible leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, let's not forget that we're talking about pike, a fish with over 700 razor blades in its mouth. Using a fine, supple leader that is resistant to the teeth of a pike means you need to change the type of footer we are going to use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which pike leader to use for small lures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When fishing for pike with small lures such as crankbaits, small soft lures or jerkbaits, we recommend using asteel leaders<\/strong> between 23\/100 and 30\/100<\/strong> . A small lure will very often be swallowed up and end up at the bottom of the pike's mouth. As a result, your leader will be highly exposed to its sharp teeth. By opting for a steel leader, you will avoid any cuts during shoeing or sparring<\/strong>oflose your decoy<\/strong> and of risk mortally wounding the pike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
