Advice from our team of enthusiasts

The retrieve

On a straight retrieve, cast and reel in slowly and the lure will produce a beautiful S-shaped swimming action with a slight rolling motion. Do not hesitate to vary retrieval speeds and add small twitches.

On a clear bottom, do not hesitate to let it settle on the bottom and wait a few seconds before reeling in again. On some days, pike like to pick up their prey from the bottom.

The colour

Our team's pick

• For clear water: UV Artick
• For murky water: Rudd

As for colour, as a general rule, the starting point will be the environment. The clearer it is, the more natural colours you will use; the more turbid it is, the more you will lean towards flashy or dark shades, going even as far as black. This is a base to be adjusted depending on the day.

If you have any questions regarding the choice of a rod, the rigs suited to your fishing area, or the type of line (monofilament, braid, fluorocarbon) to use on your reel, do not hesitate to contact us via our website, by phone or by visiting our Ardent Pêche store in person.
