Pike Fishing with Deadbaits - Three Ways to Avoid Deep Hooking

Duncan Charman takes a look at three ways to help reduce the chances of deep hooking pike when deadbait fishing for pike, especially when legering baits.

We hope you find these simple tips useful. As Duncan states, the most important thing is to use good bite indication and to strike immediately - never wait!

Keeping the hooks towards the tail end of the bait is also very important, as pike always swallow baits tail first (so the fins are folded back and don't catch), plus popping-up baits can also give more positive runs, and helps stop pike from taking baits down before moving off.

If you are wondering why we are using single hooks on the pop-up rig, that's because we happened to be filming this at a venue where that was the rule and we had taken this rig off one of our fishing rods.
