<\/span><\/p>\nOne of the most effective and at the same time simple montages I have for catching pike in shallow water during many summer seasons. There are no restrictions on the choice of type of silicone bait, but I still prefer vibrohovost. Favorite colors: white and bright acid. On a small river I recommend not to be shallow with the size of the offset hook, below the size of 3\/0 should not be used, and better 4\/0 or 5\/0 respectively, and the size of the vibrotail or, for example, twister should be suitable – from 3.5 to 5 inches. Catch “unload” all season of open water, but best of all in the height of summer, when the pike most of the time keeps near dense vegetation.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. topwater<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nA common type of bait for catching pike in the conditions of an overgrown reservoir. Distinguish poppers, walkers and hybrids, which combine two types of these baits. As a rule, they fly far. Excellent themselves show themselves in the summer, with warming water, and the best time to catch – quiet morning and evening zori, although in the midst of a hot day topwater should not be ignored. Poppers and walkers are also good scouts of active predators in large overgrown water areas.<\/p>\n
Ways of wiring:<\/strong><\/p>\nTwitching fast or slow pace depending on the activity of the pike.<\/p>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. great interest on the part of the predator to the “gurgling” bait;<\/p>\n
2. excellent searchers in shallow water;<\/p>\n
3. beautiful attacks of pike from the surface.<\/p>\n
Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. a lot of misses on bites;<\/p>\n
2. proper wiring requires skill and stamina from the angler.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Subsurface Wobblers<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nTo this class of baits include different types of wobblers: krenki, minnow, sheads. And all these baits have one thing in common – the horizon of their wiring, as a rule, does not exceed half a meter, thanks to which these baits successfully catch pike, which is kept in shallow water in the half-water, but for some reason ignores surface wobblers, for example, the previously mentioned top-water.<\/p>\n
Wiring methods:<\/strong><\/p>\nDepending on the type of wobbler, the wiring may differ: for the krenk – even, and for the minnow and shad – twitching.<\/p>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. high realization of nibbles;<\/p>\n
2. catch low-active pike.<\/p>\n
Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. high snagging compared to other types of baits.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4. Swimbaits (compound wobblers)<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nThis type of wobblers due to the composite parts of the body has a unique, “live” game, at the expense of which and coaxes a hearty or inactive pike on the bite. The best conditions for catching swimbaits – small areas of open water, among the cover of grass. Swimbaits come in different degrees of buoyancy, respectively, if the site shallow, it is better to use a floating or neutral buoyancy wobbler, if there is a small hole – sinking model. Since the bait due to the broken body plays even on the spot, it catches even extremely cautious predator in hot and cold weather.<\/p>\n
Wiring methods:<\/strong><\/p>\nTwitching, with short and simultaneously soft jerks.<\/p>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. the best lures for spot-catching a promising, localized place;<\/p>\n
2. swimbaits perfectly catch passive predators.<\/p>\n
Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. due to the constituent parts of the body, the accuracy and range of throwing suffers.<\/p>\n
