Choosing the right pike lure depends on the depth of the water, the amount of vegetation, water clarity and fish activity. This category features handmade jerkbaits, tail baits and soft lures for catching pike in shallow bays, over vegetation, along drop-offs and in open water. The models differ in size, weight, buoyancy and action. This lets you choose a lure for actively searching for feeding predators or for working more slowly through areas where pike are less active. How do you choose a pike lure? No single model is effective in every situation. In shallow waters and over submerged vegetation, lures worked high in the water column, slow-sinking jerkbaits and models that allow longer pauses perform well. In deeper areas, heavier soft lures, sinking jerkbaits and tail baits that can be taken down to the chosen depth are useful. For active fish, try a faster retrieve, clear changes of direction and shorter stops. When pike only follow the lure or feed cautiously, a calmer presentation and a longer pause may produce better results. Jerkbait, soft lure or tail bait? Pike jerkbaits let anglers impart their own rhythm and direction to the lure's action. Classic lipless models can glide sideways, change direction and pause in the water column. They perform well when actively working bays, vegetation belts, shallow flats and spots near submerged trees. Soft pike lures allow precise depth control. They can be retrieved steadily, fished on the drop, worked above the bottom or slowly over vegetation. Choosing the right weight lets you adapt the same model to different conditions and fishing speeds. Pike tail baits combine a distinct body profile with soft-tail action. They can be retrieved steadily, with bursts of speed or with pauses. A good choice for anglers who want a clearly defined lure action without constantly having to impart movement with the rod. How do you choose the lure size? Match the size to the natural prey in the water, the size of fish you hope to catch and the power of your tackle. Models around 7–12 cm can be a good choice when pike are feeding on smaller fish. Lures of 12–16 cm are versatile and work on many waters, while larger 17–20 cm models create a stronger profile and can be used to selectively target large pike. Size alone does not determine the working depth. A large jerkbait can work shallow over vegetation, while a smaller soft lure with suitable weighting can be taken much deeper. Handmade Jurassic Lures Jurassic Lures are designed for catching pike and made in Poland in small batches. Handmade production allows original colour combinations, irregular scale patterns and models with different types of action. Choose a lure suited to the depth, type of water and your preferred retrieve. Individual model descriptions provide information about available sizes, weight, action and uses for specific colour variants.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a pike lure for my water?

Check how deep you will be fishing, how much weed there is and which fish the pike feed on. Over weed, you need a lure you can keep above the snags. Around deeper drop-offs, a model you can work down lower will be useful. Choose the colour to suit the water clarity and the fish found in your water.

Which lure colour should I choose for clear water, and which for murky water?

In clear water, natural perch, roach or pike colours are a good starting point. In murky water, try yellow, fluorescent green, pink and bold stripes. This is not a hard rule, though. If natural colours are not getting bites, try a bright lure even in a clear lake.

Which lure colours should I take on a pike trip to Sweden or Finland?

Take a natural pattern, silver and one bright colour. Natural RealFish patterns are worth having for clear lakes and archipelago bays. For tea-coloured or stirred-up water, something bolder will be useful. Choose trout-like colours mainly for waters where pike actually hunt trout.

Which lures should I take to Masuria, Lithuania, Latvia or the Netherlands?

For lakes with perch and roach, pack natural patterns and silver. Add a bright colour for stirred-up lakes and Dutch canals. Retrieve depth is just as important. In a shallow canal or over weed, you need a lure you can retrieve without constantly catching the bottom and vegetation.

What should I do when a pike follows the lure but does not strike?

Try a short pause, a burst of speed or a slower retrieve. If the fish follows again, change the lure's size or colour. After a natural pattern, you can try something bright, and after a bright one, something more subdued. Also note where the pike appeared and fish that spot from a different angle.
