LURE A BIG PIKE!
Casting the big stuff for pike is not for the faint-hearted. It’s not really for small or shallow waters, either, though with some of the hybrid lures you can fish them quite shallow where need be.

The first thing to note is that, even if you go to a tackle shop and part with £15-20 for a big, soft plastic lure, if you haven’t got the right rods, reels and line, you will never be able to cast it!
