This is my favourite method, because u even can leave a small loop if you want so the hook can move a bit

I am searching today after a deep hooked pike with a treble yesterday was almost impossible to remove the hook took far to long and the pike was in and out of the water 3 times over about 30mins the fish survived and by being careful I managed to clip the bends off the hooks and remove it all but if I was inexperienced and not a lifelong angler I am sure in this situation the hooks would have been left a passer by actually said to me clip the trace low and put it back I told him that would certainly kill the fish slowly I avoid dead bait fishing because of deep hooked fish and usually lure fish for them not only was this an ordeal for the fish my 11 year old son was distressed by the whole situation I’ll give deadbaiting one more go with this rig I think I’d rather not fish for them than deep hook another one keep the trebles for lures where in 35 years of fishing I’ve only ever had one deep hooked
@spikeymikeyangling62185 ай бұрын
I've not gut hooked a pike in years! Soon as I get a pick up I hit the fish. 9 out of 10 are hooked in the outside of the scissors, I get the odd one inside the top jaw, which I usually remove with fingers. I've not lost a fish In a couple of years, even using barbless circle hooks.

I only recently started fishing for pike, mainly in lures though and caught a few but I’ve already planned to try dead baiting. Anyway I’ve got plenty of experience as saltwater angler and to be honest the very first time I started looking at dead baiting for likes, and rigs in particular, I couldn’t believe that people still use trebles instead of circle hooks, especially knowing that 99% of the times you release the pike. Additionally circle hooks (but that’s true for all single hooks really) have a lot less chances of losing the fish once the hook is set even if you lock the drags and pull, and that’s also why in SW people always use single hooks (fish are stronger and put up much bigger fights, so a proper hook set is important in a prolonged fight) and on top of that many times the fish is kept and cooked (so it’s killed anyway). So my rigs for dead baiting will definitely have a single circle hook!

Hi glad to see some ones catching on circles what’s your hook up ratio ?
@spikeymikeyangling62186 ай бұрын
Hook up ratio? I don't like to tempt fate but mine is very good. 95%. I don't know why people struggle so much. Don't strike and keep it all taught when you do Hook up. The more practice the more your rate improves. Good luck!
@karlmclean20236 ай бұрын
@@spikeymikeyangling6218 I’ve herd in others videos it’s down to using too much lead weights. Using a float or a smallest weight possible so your in direct contact to the hook and you don’t have a pendulum motion when tightening down on the Line. I used a 4oz lead on a big lake at range and lost 4-5 runs 1 day in the space of a couple of hours.

@@karlmclean2023 I fish a lot of small venues for Pike and Zander with float/ledger rigs using floats ( by Balzer, Germany ) that balance with 2 grm of lead. Makes for a very sensitive set-up. Using 2/0 Eagle Claw L702G circle hooks my hook-up rate is as close to 100% as makes no difference. I crush the barbs on my hooks and find the in-turned point of a circle is more than adequate to retain a 3-4 inch Roach deadbait.
