Jigging for pike with the jig set

The JIG SET is a proven method for successfully catching pike. In combination with the VIMBA and ACAN lures, it offers one of the most effective techniques to entice pike to bite, especially during the cold season.

Effective jigging with soft plastic lures for pike

Jigging with soft plastic lures is a proven method for targeting pike. The lure is moved over the bottom with light, jerky movements. The soft plastic briefly lifts off the bottom and then sinks again, simulating a realistic swimming motion.

After casting, the lure should sink to the bottom before lifting the rod tip to set the soft plastic in motion. The line should always be kept slightly taut to maintain contact with the lure and to detect bites well. A properly adjusted reel drag ensures that the line can be pulled out when a pike strikes without the fish breaking free.

It is important not to hold the rod too steeply to allow enough play during the hook set. A strong hook set is crucial to ensure the hook securely grips the pike’s mouth. Focused fishing is essential when jigging, as pike can strike quickly and unexpectedly.
