- How to catch Pike on lures - Graeme Pullen from The TotallyAwesome Fishing Show interviews Pike lure fanatic Nathan Brotherton. As he reveals his TOTALLY AWESOME favourite lures, you get to see how some of his big lures look in quality HD underwater footage as the TA Cameras go submerged, and spot a couple of sulking predators to 18lbs lying right in the weedbeds. Lures range from the famous spinnerbaits, to shad raps, swimbaits and even rubber eels. Featuring tips on tackle, with a run-through of Nathan's favourite Jerkbait outfit, and spinning rig, plus tips on How to retrieve lures. No blatent tackle-ramming, but the basics on which lures have given big Pike specialist Nathan some of his best fish. We may even drag Graeme away from his beloved Twitching Sprat technique! (Doubt it).

Hello G & M, since you’ve mentioned you get a small income if you watch the whole ad before your vlogs I have intentionally watch the ads. It’s abundantly clear that you both don’t try and push brands which I like!! A comment on a previous vlog mentioned donations. I look at it that I can go and spend £50-£60 on various books that will not even touch on the tips that you give up for free! So much appreciation and admiration keep it lads!!!!
No.Only been to Scotland once.Scrabster for Porbeagle shark,then over to the Borders for Salmon on fly on Tweed.
I love this kid and the old man, they are not fishermen they are anglers. People who fish by feel, by knowledge of experience and go to many extremes to catch that big fish. Keep fishing guys.
2 tips from a pike fisherman from Balkans: First the size of the lure matters pike will generaly go for a bait with a size up to 1/4 of his body everything larger will work on larger pikes and smaler ones will avoid it and. tip no2. is learn what the pike is feading on that will determine the collor of the lure you use. for me on the rivers i fish on the best bait seems to be with the apperence of a Bass, green with black stripes or black with green stripes i recently lost my star lure with that design and i felt heartbroken :( sadly the company that made it dosnt make that model anymore so yeah :) also if you see an obsticle in the water even in shallow water there is a 90% chance that there is a pike lurkin near it so grab a lure and go for it.
SuicidalTendencies small pike will attack lures slightly smaller and the same size as them. I’ve seen a pike eating another pike that was bigger than it!
All the rest sounds good aside from the size of the Lure section... Pike are very greedy little predators and will attack lures the same size as they are, in my experience I've had little Jack's of maybe 2lbs max attack my mctail (nigh on a foot long with tail) so yeah don't worry so much on the size
It was an interview with a lure angler talking about his favourite patterns.
Loving these shows, Graeme, entertaining, informative and funt to watch...keep up the good work
love this show. i got into fishing because of this ! Well done ! no cons !
Awesome!
TAFishing Totally Awesome?
Simply said!! Done very little coarse fishing prior to watching these two, now I’m hooked boom boom
Love the underwater footage, I love the part with the pike camoed in the weed.
Yes,that's stange about us over here.General freshwater scene here is that the majority of fisheries now require barbless single hooks when bait fishing.Yet for lure fishing if you want barbless you generally have to crush them down with pliers.Good point.I wonder why most lures don't automatically come with barbless,as trebles with big barbs are a nightmare to get out of the net mesh.I would like to see most lures sold with big singles,so maybe in the future we might catch up with you guys.
Get him on the show more. He's a cool guy
Very interesting video,and I really enjoyed it.
Too bad we have no pike in Florida.
spot on, 2 really interesting characters, great questions answered with great knowledge, really enjoy these videos
Hello from Minnesota U.S. A lot of the lures featured in this video are U.S. muskie lures. Muskies are cousins to pike but you don't have them there. UA-cam search for muskie videos and some of what we do here for muskie will also work there for pike. Also sometimes spelled musky. Google search muskies too and what you learn from that will also work on pike. We have pike here too and catch them while muskie fishing. Good Luck!!
To clarify this a little for the 6 lures, we are allowed to use up to 6 hooks (1 lure = 1 hook) on up to 3 rods per person. In Canada, you are only allowed to run up to 4 hooks (1 lure w/up to 2 trebles = 1 hook) on 2 rods per person. When we run more than one lure per rod we do what we call “piggy backing”. This is where you hook the lures up one after another (with a bit of line in between them, to space them out) from tail to head.
Thank you. Nonetheless, you guys are master anglers in my eye and are sharing your knowledge for free with us so all the respect to you guys.
The Northern Pike in the states is considered a "dumb" fish. It will strike anything, as many times as it takes until it's hooked, lol.
I've had 100s of hits, while panfishing, on my bobber, lol.
Very informative video, as always :)
The lure at 6:32 is one of my favourite lures for muskie and one of the best colours over here!
Honestly, I have never gone Pike fishing, but if I do, this video will help me lots!
thanks guys i might be going pike fishin tomorrow so this has inspired me to try lots of types of lure
I learnt a lot as well! those lures would work very well for muskie here as well! awesome video as always
that young guy knows his shit
Well done Nathan, good talk there mate.
love the underwater footage guys
If its a lure I guess it will work in fresh or saltwater for many different predators.
Generally 15lb line for me personally in an abrasion resistant mono,but others use 30lb braid.Wire leader is usually cabled(strands) and at least 30/40lb for teeth abrasion. I wouldn't drop below 12lb line as its asking for trouble.
It actually depends on where you fish over here in North America. Here in Michigan we can use barbed hooks everywhere except trout streams. Some states allow them and some do not. Some states also have a hook limit on the lures and/or they count the lure (its self) as one hook regardless of how many actual hooks are on it.
Don't know the name unless its mentioned in the film and Nathan is out of the country for several months as far as I know.
Thanks so much, I like how there's no B.S. or anything just straight up fishing tips.
great video. Those big fish baits with the flappy tails are simply called swinmbaits. Im English but live in America and they use smaller sizes for bass but also that size for pike and muskie.
Nice to see somebody from my home town 😁
This video was very educational for me being iam going pike fishing for the first time in may it's trying new things my main thing is trout
So many incredibly Savage lures!
Anyone can talk about fishing. Catching fish is what makes people listen.
Very cool info~ I have had very good success using a Cisco Kid, and a Grandma lure 9 inches here in Michigan. No Hammer Handles wanted.
Below is a diagram
Main line------
I hope they never went in past the barb ! I try to crush all the barbs on my hooks for piking, and now for most sea fishing, leaving one with a barb as a baitholder. I've always been wary of loose hooks, so make sure you have the pike on an unhooking mat, and hold it very firmly, don't let it thrash around. If large, straddle it.And use long forceps. Keep fingers away from hooks.
the green and red dawg with the long tail.ive got lots of them,but not in that colour!
Hey guys I know this is another old vid but it’s still a good one just brought a memory back of when I was still at school I was trying to unhook a jack pile and ended up with a treble hook stuck in the pike the landing net and then my thumb lol so I cut the net unhooked the pike then nearly passed out while waiting for my dad to come get me 😂 the good old days lol
Sea, lake, river. Everywhere you can find eels and pike! :) They love 'em, even here in germany
i also use a multiplier reel for my light rod as i find them the best to cash with
If it is legal to do where you live, you should give this setup a try. It works almost as well as dynamite. LOL! We use this techneque for walleye, trout and salmon, but sometimes we catch pike, musky and other fish.
another totally awesome show, fantastic young angler, and a very knowledgeable lure angler, 1 of the big lure company's should be snapping you up to field test and promote modern day lure angling. totally enjoyed the show thank you.
Yeah those rubber lures look good in the water
I discovered this channel when u commented on Carl and alex
I've been waiting for a Totally awesome video like this! :P Thank you! Guy's!
Nice video, great underwater shots, nice lures!
Line should easily be strong enough, but make sure you use a wire trace. I have heard people tying lures straight onto braid thinking it was tough enough. Do not do this. You must use a wire trace. See our vid on making a pike trace. Good luck with it.
Thanks! I'm going to Sweden soon and I really had to know this.
Nice to see a responsible pike fisherman.. I also am pike mad, and judging by his tackle we are alike, I have a 6 ft shimano rod and reel for light stuff with 80lb braid with a 40lb fox trace, a 6ft toothey critter rod with multiplier and again 80lb berkely braid, and a 14ft carp road with a shimano 8000 bait runner for winter dead baiting.. My landing net is a huge carp net with thick but small gaps.. anyway great Video. ps pike are the most vulnerable fish, care must be taken not to gas it up.
cool underwater footage...
Have no idea of the weight, it all came as one piece ? But you can buy grubs from places in the States that you just thread up a hook shank like a worm. The important thing is to make any grubs, plastic worms etc. hang straight. If you thread it into the bend of the hook it generally makes it twist up or rotate unnaturally.
For example when I fish on the American side of the St. Clair river I can use lures that have 3 barbed treble hooks on them and I can run up to 6 of these on one rod (if I choose to), but on the Canadian side of the river I can only run lures with up to 2 barbed treble hooks and I can only run up to 4 of them.
Hey bud, the premise was that we are playing catch and release. In catch and release, one would want to do as little damage to the fish as possible. But if you think it doesn't damage the fish noticeably, try putting one of the trebles you use for pikes in your own flash, then remove it the same way that you remove it from a pike and so verify your own statement. I like to see that video. If the fish is kept, that is another story.
im from sweden and i recently got hooked on lures with blue and white in them. i got loads of pikes on blue white softbaits last summer. i normaly use yellow green and orange since everyone tells that those colors are best in my lake :)
Nice one, keep at it!
use heat or superglue to re- seal the soft plastics
first lure looks like a fox replicant to me,savage gear real eels and then the bulldawgs,those savage gear eels are awesome,ive got some myself,he's also got a fox demon and a 4play,this fella's got some really good quality gear and he knows what he's talking about,this is an interesting vid.i liked it.
Our record for Northern pike is heading towards 50lbs and I would still be happy hooking up on my 15lb mono.The pike rod barely pulls 2lbs bent double so no chance of breaking the line if the drag is set right. A 30lb pike is considered a specimen,but still pretty rare.I've never even seen one.Many big pike are coming from our big trout reservoirs as the high protein trout diet lets them pack on weight.
ive never caught one
nice fish bro 🐟
did Nathan have his channel? he is great guy...
thx for at great show, Nathan knows his stuff :)
You can use the eel in both fresh water and salt water although it was designed as a fresh water lure but I've heard these things do well in the sea so why not, the only kinds of lures that are not compatible with salt water tend to be jerkbaits because they are carefully weighted to suspend in fresh water and with the water densities of both waters being different the lure will not work the same.
nice video loved it and learned a lot
could you make a video on bass fishing
Great intro
I use 80 lb braid, this helps prevent the reel having a hairy fit when I cast the lure, means less birds nests and sitting on the shore untangling it. I use a really stiff trace (titanium is best) for jerk baits in the region of 60 lb to 100 lb test, this stops it wearing and breaking off. I also use with swim baits and other such lures 100 lb to 150 lb test fluorocarbon and the strength here is purely for the teeth (needs changed often though)
Ive never been lehr fishing. I'll have to buy some lehrs.
Tússk 😂😂
Great video (y)
Pike are long, Not usually heavy. You can use 20lb braid to catch them but you would prolly have to fight longer and make sure your drag is set right. I would recommend 50lb braid. Still as thin as 12lb mono and should bring in any pike you catch.
Great vid love lure fishing don't need near as much gear to go fishing
Even in 8 years lures have come such a long way. I.e the peto.
Thank you brilliant video
and have you ever fished the union canal in scotland
Very informative video guys! Just wondering if you can tell me what make and model of swimbait Nathan is holding at 1:35?
Where j fish on the U.S the water is not quite deep enough to use a deep driving lure we mostly use 15 size Rapalas in fire tiger color
Agreed
nath your such a geek!!! we going for a fly sesh soon lad?
Abu is a very good brand and not too ekspensive. I only use this brand and sometimes things from Berkley.
Hi Graeme, nice video again. I live beside a canal and i have never fished for pike before, would this time of year be ok for lure fishing for pike on a canal?
It should be provided its not after heavy rain which might colour it up. Canals run slow,so might take a week to clear again. If its clear, give it a go. Lures work well in canals,but try casting along the edges first, before you walk up to that area in case you spook any fish. You can cover a lot of ground by being mobile.

Fine young man.
Awesome video.
Great videos and awesome channel.. subbed
So will fish bight on a bigger lure because it will fill them up more?
Alpatriod A predator that expends less energy in the pursuit and capture of protein will always grow bigger than one that has to rush around burning energy catching small items. So bigger predators will generally like a bigger meal.
i just love you so much i respect you so much and i think you have a really big future your amazing and i really do say
thanks
Great video
I used to believe what you're telling now, but the last years I learned that if you fish barbless the hook can move to much and cause more damage to a fish then a normal hook, so I will never use barbless hooks anymore.
T.A.F Best fishing show ever made.
Hello, which is the brand of the first soft swimbait?.
Thank you very much in advance.
If you cut off the front hook on the treble hook you won't get snagged up as much.
I see barbs on all of the hooks. As much as I love the show and learn something new as you guys fish very different than what the norm is in North America, I have to say I am a bit disappointed about the barbs. A barbless hook can come out easy and causes less damage. Sure a fish might be lost here and there but we play sport fishing, aren't we? I use either barbless hooks or press the barbs down the shaft.
thx guy's
Is a 20 pound braided line strong enough for pike fishing on bigger pike? Really need to know as soon as possible! :o
thanks tis helped alot
I got it this Christmas but it was from eBay so I'm not sure
The level wind on my baitcaster gets stuck on the left side of the reel does anyone know how I could fix this
Question. That spinner bait was it a 1/2oz? Also how did you attach that grub with a the trailer hook?
nice video
Does anyone know what type of swimbait the rainbow trout one is?
Where abouts is that lake and what's it called.
You might need a new pawl. There is screw cap under the level wind, loosen that up and the pawl will come out.
What is the the brand of this rod with multiplier?
