- Check the tackle, if necessary, replace the base, put in new leashes, sort out the baits.

- Inspect the form, check the integrity of the inserts in the rings.

Awọn turntables
Probably, it is spinners that are the best baits for pike in the spring, according to statistics, it is regularly among the leaders in terms of catchability in different regions and on different water bodies.
In the spring, even a small turntable is able to attract the attention of a predator, and not always a small one. Large individuals often spot and attack turntables on the shallows near beaches.
Almost any color of the petal is used, but there are still some subtleties:
- silver and gold will work best during this period;
- a fluorescent petal is sent under the bushes and along the reeds at dawn;
- acid color will tease the predator in muddy water.
But the fly on the hook can be very different, most often they are independently equipped with red, green and salad options. The most catchy are products from Mepps, Condor, Kuusamo, Lacky John.
spinnerbaits
This bait can be said to combine two types at once, she got a petal from a turntable, and a head with a fringe from silicone. For pike in April, it is best to use a spinnerbait for spinning, this bait will help to lure a predator near snags and reeds, as well as in last year’s vegetation.
Near snags and flooded trees, this bait should be carried out carefully, the hook can be hooked tightly.
In early spring, it is advisable to use spinnerbaits with two petals, but at the end of May it is better to choose with one.
silikoni
Silicone baits will be an excellent option, and the pike will respond equally well to both the vibrotail and the twister.
The size of the bait is selected relatively small, 3-5 cm will be enough. The coloring is very extensive:
- vibrotails should be chosen with several colors, it is especially important that the head, tail, back, tummy stand out;

In the spring, you can fish from the coastline and from boats, catching pike on a spinning rod for each of these species will have its own characteristics. Yes, and the tackle itself will have some distinctive features.
Lati eti okun
For fishing from the shore for pike in the spring, rod blanks from 2,4 m are used, the reel for tackle is suitable with a spool up to 2000, this will be quite enough. It is better to choose a blank from carbon options, while the test should not exceed 15 g. For catching pike, shallows are chosen, this is where the predator will come out to warm up after a long and cold winter. She will follow here after the fry, it is they who will make up the main diet during this period.
From the shore, it is advisable to use turntables or castmasters, wobblers will also work well. It will not be easy to hold a small-sized silicone bait correctly with such a blank, it is unlikely that a beginner will be able to do it.
From a watercraft
Before pulling the boat into the water, it is worth studying the restrictions and prohibitions in the area. If fishing is allowed, then it is advisable to check the correctness of the selected gear:
- rod up to 2 m long;
- test preferably up to 10 g;
- spinning reel with no more than 1000 spools;
- the cord is thin and durable, it is better to take from 8 weaves no more than 0,08 mm thick.
As baits, you can use everything that was described above, however, poppers and small-sized edible silicone will be the most convenient to lead. You can also use a minnow type wobbler, but their size should be no more than 44 mm, and the colors should resemble a beetle or a larva.
A turntable on such a form will work perfectly, it is desirable to throw it along the coast near the reeds or last year’s vegetation. It will also be promising to catch places with reclaimed spits near snags and flooded trees, but there are usually very few such places.
Postings in both cases, the most common ones are used, but you should not rush too much. In early spring, the pike has not yet fully recovered from hibernation, its metabolism is slowed down, it will not physically be able to have time to attack the bait that quickly swims near it.
When can you catch pike in the spring
In most regions, in the spring, a law comes into force to limit the catch of both peaceful fish and predators. This is due to the spawning of the inhabitants of reservoirs. At this time it is allowed to fish with only one rod with one hook. The ban is usually valid from the beginning of April until the end of May.
Pike is recommended to be caught after spawning, so that it has time to give birth. Usually this period begins in mid-May, but the weather has a direct impact on this process. In a warm spring, spawning is faster, and with a cool and protracted one, it is delayed for a long period.
We studied catchy lures for pike, picked up equipment and chose the most successful places for fishing. It remains to put into practice the acquired knowledge and show off the catch. No tail, no scales!
