Bens 20lb Pike

admin — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:50:16 +0000

Customer Ben also had a pike fishing trip to Pitsford Reservoir recently. Ben tempted this 21lb beauty of a pike whilst fishing a copper spoon lure from the back of a boat. The capture was featured in the Angling Times recently and was a Drennan Cup contender. Bens winter fishing goal was a 20lb pike and he achieved it at the first time of asking. Well done Ben!!

A review on some new arrivals now for you pike and predator anglers. We’ve had a delivery of some very exciting Storm Lures, below are reviews on some of them and if you like what you see go to the main site to purchase them.

Storm Kicking Minnow Lures

These look really good, they have a soft rubber segmented body which gives them a minnow like action with a pronounced kick in the tail.

Red Hot Chilli Fire Tiger Perch

We also have the rainbow trout model, so check them out yourself.

Storm WildEye Live Lures

The Storm WildEye Live Series of lures really do have wild eyes and look superb. They have a strong soft body with internal lead head, which coupled with a paddle shaped tail gives them a lifelike swimming action. The natural body colours of the wildEye lures should help you fool the wariest of pike. Below are a couple of examples

More Rapala Lures Make An Entrance

admin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:48:12 +0000

We have had some more Rapala Lures delivered and again they look absolutely superb. In this blog we’ll look at the best way to use them.

Rapala Deep Tail Dancer Lure

The Rapala Deep Tail Dancer Lure is best trolled from a boat but can be cast from the bank. It is designed to go deep between 4.5 – 9 metres to really search out those big pike. The Deep Tail Dancers action can be greatly improved by using different boat speeds.

Rapala Minnow Rap Lure

The Rapala Minnow Rap can be either cast from the bank or trolled. To achieve the maximum depth (4.5m) use the thinnest line you can, braid if possible. Varying the retrieve can bring outstanding results.

Rapala Super Shad Rap Floating Lure

The Rapala Super Shad Rap Floating Lure will dive to about 1.5 metres, but is best fished just under the surface over weedy or shallow areas. It fishes best with a fairly slow retrieve, but varying the speed will impart different actions which may just give you that extra edge.

All the Rapala lures come in different colours and patterns giving you a range of options for differing light and weather conditons.
