Pike Shad
During the past few months I have had the chance to test all the models and I am absolutely satisfied with the results, both in terms of catching and for the versatility the Pike Shad has showed, allowing me to fish in all locations that I am used to practicing in lakes and rivers.
I used the smallest model to look for the Southern Pike in small waters or mid river, mainly because the pike will better notice a medium sized bait.
The bigger 7,5” model produced equally good captures for me; and is best used in larger waters where it was fantastic when used vertically in lakes or deep holes.
When in the river I prefer the body version because of its versatility in every situation, simply by reducing or increasing the ballast quantity according to pike activity.
Recently, with the 7,5” Pike Shad in 15 gr, I succeeded in stimulating the attention of a big pike which had refused the heavier model many times before.
All this means is sometimes it is important to have more than one models of the same bait available.
Winter is coming and now is the right time to catch these marvellous fish, and I am quite sure that the Pike Shad will get a lot of strikes for those fishermen who fish in their rivers during very cold mornings.
