Spinners & Oscillating Fishing Lures

The most famous, widespread and effective type of bait for a predator, which imitates the movements of a natural food object, remains a spinner. Most often it is made of metal, but plastic models are also available for sale. To give them a color and texture natural to natural objects, the products are coated with various materials - from enamel to the same plastic; a chemical method of processing the spinner can also be used.

If it is necessary to achieve maximum identity with a natural analogue, natural colors are used, which in appearance bring the bait closer to a living small fish. There are also models with aggressively bright, acidic colors that irritate predators.

As for the type and number of hooks, you will be offered the following options:

• with a treble hook;
• with double hook;
• with one hook without a barb to prevent injury to the fish when retrieving;
• “non-snacking” - protected products, for example, with silicone;
• with an edge made of synthetic or natural materials.

Types of spinners

Spoons are divided into 2 types:

• rotating – a petal of any shape is attached to the spinner rod; when retrieving, the bait rotates around its axis. There can be several petals; for shipping, a weight in the form of balls, cylinders or small fish can be placed under them;
• oscillating – the petal can be of any shape; when retrieved, the bait performs oscillating, swaying movements, as well as turning over.

The main distinguishing feature of spinners is ease of use. It doesn’t really matter whether you buy a lure for perch or pike; all products are convenient and effective when used correctly.

Experts always recommend starting to catch a predator with these simple baits. In the hands of an experienced fisherman who knows how to control the retrieve and alternate pauses with active stimulation of movement, a spoon for pike or other predator will become the most catchy tool.

Unfortunately, there is no universal spinner; all products differ in:

• color;
• form;
• size;
• number of hooks;
• frequency and amplitude of vibrations.

This explains the huge variety on the market; you need to base your choice on a set of factors:

• what type of predator are you planning to hunt;
• what the weather is expected to be like;
• what is the fishing season;
• what are the differences between the reservoir, etc.

Regarding the question of which lure for pike you can buy in the Rybalka.ua online store, the experts gave several recommendations.

First, you need to decide how many hooks should be on the lure. They make the bait heavier and can reduce the likelihood of a catch. However, if there are not enough hooks, the risk of the pike falling off increases, which is also undesirable. The best option is to buy a spoon weighing 14-28 g and fish with a spinning rod with a dough of 7-40 g.
Secondly, you need to remember that pike hunts small fish, which means the length of the spoon should be from 3 to 10 cm, the width should be about a third of the length. The spinner can be slightly increased - up to 12 cm in length, since with slow retrieval a spinner that is too small may go unnoticed. Most often this is a spinner for winter fishing; in summer you can try using a size 2 or 3 spinner.
Thirdly, you should pay attention to the color of the spinner. For pike fishing, the best option would be a silver bait with a matte finish. Experienced fishermen say that a spinner without a matte coating glares too brightly when sunlight hits it and scares away the fish. In mid-summer you can also use copper-red spoons. In autumn and winter, white, silver, and yellow spoons are equally effective. If you are at a loss, you can buy a combined spinner with a multi-colored petal.
