A properly crafted jig fly is literally the perfect pike lure, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. You can fish them fast, slow, vertical, horizontal, at any depth, and the right design can push nearly as much water as a big swimbait. In my years of pike fishing, my brother's homemade jig flies have consistently outfished everything else, to the point where I rarely bother tying on anything other than a jig-fly, regardless of conditions. So many times when i am sight fishing for pike, I'll throw many lures and they'll only follow it, then I put the jig fly on, And the pike is in the net
And you cant beat them for pike safety. Can fish a 25cm jig fly with a single hook on light gear, but a 25cm hard bait would need two 3/0 trebels and a 150gram rod to work it.
Bit of a tip, which I’ve found that works, take a small hairbrush with you in your tackle bag when fishing with a jig fly, straightens them up good as new after a catch. 👍🏻
Yep that always happens losing your lure in the far bank, that’s life. Great video and interesting to see the visibility of the different Jig flies in the coloured water.. 👍
You can use a comb to brush your jug flys to get the knots out. Im no expert, ive just seen other fishermen do it on other vlogs. Big fan, followed you for a long time, since the beginning in fact. Keep up the good content. Hope your well & looking forward to future vlogs. Time lines bro
Jig-fly the best lure for pike in my opinion i have fished the Jig-fly over 10 years there awesome i make all my own Jig-fly there brilliant all year round sell lots of them on the bank people love them because they work simple as that,para
Making me envious again 🥺😩. I can’t just flick the lure streaming 100 M up the river. Don’t ya just hate that. I was trolling lures up a salt water creek years ago now, the boat kept drifting along & I kept pulling as the lure ended up in mangroves after I flicked it. Anyway with the boat & myself pulling the branch snapped & the lure flew threw the air & hooked me in top of leg, fortunately only one barb of the trebles. Got my filleting knife out & gave a little nick & it was out. Son in law me with couldn’t look 👀 & went all dizzy. Poor bugger & no fish for the day’s effort. 🙄😳😩😂🇦🇺
Does water clarity make any difference when lure fishing for PIke/Perch? Weve recently starting lure fishing in freshwater for pike/perch around Doncaster. Any advice would be much appreciated, we watch alot of your videos, keep up the good work mate
Light colors in clear, dark colors in dark. Big lures, insta spinner bait and rattlers/ spinner baits in murky waters. This time of year, slow and deep.

Wow I am so glad that I ordered a lot of fly tying stuff for pike to do this bait breathe :D Very happy to hear such good results

Suppose a toothbrush would be ideal
Yes dan , useful putting the air temp , time and date up nice one , hope you will in future uploads 👍
Jig flies are ideal when it's that cold as the can be fished really really slow.

Now if you was on the kayak you'd have still had that lure 😉

@@danielnystrom7310 thanks
Looks like I may need to purchase some jig flies. Can you direct me to a good online shop?
That looked like willy Wonka's chocolate lake
Those are lures I've always wanted to try out but have always been too lazy to actually order 🙈
I carry an aluminium horse mane comb on me, drilled one end and put a large split ring on so I can clip it to my bag
I like the reel, i have the 3000 size one. For the money, you can't ask more. I appreciate it as much as my 140 euros reel.
You should fly fish for pike
Dont tell us you didnt buy a hook sharpner?! We all seen it! sharpen the hooks man!! Good film pal
The pike at the begging is not a jack
