Mackerel Pike Baits
This is one of the best deadbaits available on the market. It has a tough skin which means that it can be cast long distances easily without fear of it flying off.
It is quite an oily fish and is packed full of scent that really attracts fish from far and wide.
You get four fish in most packs although this does depend on the size of fish. If you are targeting large pike then you can get away with using a whole bait but for smaller pike and other predators it’s best to chop the bait in half. This also helps to release all of the oils and juices inside the bait.
Key features:
- Tough skin means the bait stays on the hook well
- Full of oils and juices that fish love
- Blast frozen to keep the bait fresh
“I’ve caught some massive pike on mackerel and it is one of my favourite baits. I tend to fish a whole joey mackerel and pop it up off the bottom so that it is clear of any weed and stands out to any passing fish.”
