Predator Fishing Bait & Lures FAQs
Does the species of fish determine which baits and lures I should be using?
Yes, you will only use lures for predatory fish such as pike, perch, or zander.
What are lures and what are the benefits of using them?
Lures are imitation fish that when wound back, will imitate a wounded or dying fish, or vibrate to stimulate a predatory fish into striking it believing it to be prey. The benefit is due to the active nature of lure fishing, you are much more mobile and can cover much more water than if you were fishing static.
Why is it important which colour of lure I use?
There is no one magic colour of lure, as different colours will work on different days depending on light levels, or water clarity.
Should I use a range of different baits and lures in different conditions?
Yes, as above, different colours will work in different conditions, in addition, different lures behave differently. Some will have faster or slower retrieval rates, dive to different depths, or have different actions.
What are the benefits of using lures, spinner baits and soft baits all together?
Different lures behave differently. Some will have faster or slower retrieval rates, dive to different depths, or have different actions. This includes spinners and soft baits.
Do you offer any bait and lure bundles?

Hard & Soft Predator Fishing Lures
The best tip for predator fishing or using pike fishing lures is to always keep a well stocked tackle box so you can chop and change your attractor to the day’s conditions to make sure every trip is successful. After all, the old saying ‘failure to prepare is to prepare to fail’ is so true in any angling expedition! Predator and pike fishing lures have come a long way and a new favorite trend for pike angler’s is to employ hybrid lures.
Hybrid lures such as the Daiwa hybrid crank are designed to produce minimal vibrations in the water because of their plastic body, but also is more durable and will be more sustainable in the mouth of your target at the point of strike. This gives you more opportunity to land your strike and up your game!
Picking Colours For Pike Fishing Lures
When choosing pike fishing lures, or any predator lure in fact, your choice of colour is vitally important. Bright or glittery pike fishing lures are some of our most popular. This is because they reflect the glistening sun and produce some of the best results for the fair weather fisherman amongst you! The LB Pro 4 Kit from Savage Gear is an ideal place to start building your lure collection. Fox Rage’s spinner baits are also ideal for catching the eye of your target fish. These spinnerbaits are ideal for all species and make successful pike fishing lures. It’s all about striking a balance when using pike fishing lures and sometimes less is more; but throw that idea out the window and combine Fox Rage spinner baits with soft baits for ultimate appeal.
After rainfall or if you are fishing in obscure waters, you would be better off choosing a bolder colour. Opt for a predator or pike fishing lure with fluorescent hues for coloured waters to ensure the fish can find you! Alternatively, in waters with minimal visibility, dark colours will produce a stronger silhouette.
It’s a great idea to carry pike fishing lures in a spectrum of colours, so you are free to chop and change your fishing spot and are not restricted to one area of water. We know that perfecting your lure is an entirely personal choice; our top tip would be to invest in a full range and play around. You might notice that the fish in your waters react to a certain type of lure better than others, switch between different weights, colours and sizes to find out what gets your fish biting!
