thats better. now would you mix it with the oil to give you 500ml. or raw ?

adie1200 Fri Oct 09, 2009 10:57 pm

I think i would try mixing it first as if its too strong it may put the pike off !!

Just add a bit at a time until you think its about right Very Happy

Not at all. Pernod stinks of aniseed right and some Irish fellers (not tree fellers...that's another joke) use Whiskey on Kippers for pike bait, because it helps to disperse the smell. Alcohol disperses oil too, so by using Pernod, you could have the best of both worlds. You'd have the aniseed odour and you'd also have a component for dispersing oils from your bait.

I'd try it and I'm not kidding.

Hahaha Everyone thinks i'm nuts {They could be right} But somtimes i leave different dead baits to soak in dark rum for a few days in the fridge, Then drain them off and freeze them, And they seem to thaw out quicker when you need them for fishing,

I'm just about to get back into it - but I can't believe noone has mentioned ABU Reflex.

As a kid I watched my Dad clean up on the Middle Level at Magdalene in about 1980 - clocking up 5 or 6 high teens monsters in a single week using them. It then became an annual holiday - tried loads of other lures with no luck.

Having not fished for a couple of years at the beginning of the 90s, my mate's Dad took me to the Witham at Bardney. I took the trusty bag of Reflex - my mate, his Dad and his Dad's mates all had a variety of bait and lures. It took me about 10 minutes to nobble a Jack and had fun all day, notching up 5 or 6. By the end of the day they were begging me to sell them to them.

I haven't fished for nearly 20 years, but I'll be heading down the Witham on Tuesday for a nostalgia trip. I'll be the one with the antique Mitchell 300 and the pocket full of Reflex. Can't wait!

My favorite lures for pike fishing :

1 - Light weight spoons - you can drag them slowly through the water . Best lures for cold water when the pike doesn't have too much energy to follow the lure.

Favourite Lures - Page 5 Para

2 - Big spinners slowly dragged through the water.

Favourite Lures - Page 5 Mepps-aglia--silver--1-3-oz

3 - Slider type lures :

4 - Jointed floating crankbaits (Light blue is the color I trust for the crankbaits )

With this type of lures I caught most of my pikes

Hi,

As I see most of lures are hard type - raps or spinners, also jerk. Do you usually cast from the bank or do trolling from boat?
Also, jelly type of lures, looks like not popular here... Is there a reason why?

craigpix2000 Tue Jan 03, 2012 10:20 pm

Im a big fan of kopyto shads and verious other shads but at the minuite its the jig flies that are catching me the fish
