This is EXACTLY how I set up my rig... 2 to 3oz inline lead to a ballbearing swivel...homemade trace (because I don't trust shop-bought ones🙄) about 15" long & semi-barbed trebles for minimal damage to the fish... I even use the bait elastic... 😉 12' 2 & 3/4lbs t.c. Diawa rods, Shimano 10'000 reels loaded with 30lbs braid & delkin alarms on a Fox Pod completes the setup.. My float ball is the plastic widget out of a guinness can. 😎👍☘ Popped up, in my opinion , gives a much more positive take & I have often fished with friends who used non- popped baits & when they'd get a bite, it would be " beep here beep there" as the pike wrestles it out of the bottom weed, inevitably leading to premature strikes & lost fish... My PB is 28lbs & I hope the good Lord gives me enough time (I'm 63y.o.) to beat that on some frosty Spring morning, as the kettle whistles its approval in the background... 😂 Tight Lines to all... From the Emerald Isle 😎👍☘🍺
Wow I I wish I see this start of season start pike fishing because of this man and learnt a lot another bit of great tactics to add to the bag from an outstanding angler!
Thanks for doing this video mate very helpful. I see you haven’t posted a video for over a year…..I hope you are doing well mate and everything is ok. Look forward to your return. Tight lines 🎣
Any suggestions. I’m river fishing and I have found a spot with 4-5 very large pike. Always in the same spot week after week. Cab clearing see them as the water is crystal clear. For the life of me I can’t get them to take anything. Any suggestions
Hi Des, do you set a stop knot on the line to stop the bait rising or do you set your baitrunner tension so that this stops the bait rising? Basically im asking, in a free running-rig, how do you stop the popped-up bait from rising to the surface?
Best to do it with some wire, or use the PikePro rigging wire. With nylon line there is a chance that the pike could bite through the line, so you could lose the popper if it was on nylon. Thanks for the question.
@@PIKEPRO341 Thanks for info, btw you guys should sell your stuff on your own website and cut off middle man. I cant get ledger stems and some accessories anywhere now and prices are crazy as well... thank you for reply👍
Patience is the by-word in deadbaiting... I've found that puttin the kettle on or disappearing behind a bush for a piss (or worse, yes its happened🙄) is GUARANTEED to have the alarm beeping... 😂
I'm just starting out Piking again since i was a kid (40 years ago) and have been watching all these videos for tackle, rigs and kit .. but the one thing I cannot find is where to fish. I'm looking for a day ticket type, still water, where i can have space to set up and experiment with ledgering and floating. A fishery that isn't too demanding with weed/trees/underwater obstacles etc where I can gain confidence setting up and maybe even catch a couple. I'm 15 Miles East of Birmingham (Atherstone) so anywhere around Nuneaton, Coventry, Hinkley, Tamworth or Leicester area would be good - can anyone help please? Thanks

Through these videos I’m learning you don’t have to be so subtle about presentation as I thought you did, hungry pike will have it
Great stuff Des, I like the tip on letting it rise and fall to get the take.
Great tip especially letting the bait up, why didn’t I think of that

Hi what do you use at the end of your trace to stop the pop up from coming off? Thanks
I.m gonna try it out tomorow, like your pike lessons, excuse my bad english, regards from Stuttgart
This is a real fisherman right here

Inline lead to the swivel...
Read my setup comment 😎👍
Hi Des how you attach poper to top treble? Using normal line or trace vire?
Best to do it with some wire, or use the PikePro rigging wire. With nylon line there is a chance that the pike could bite through the line, so you could lose the popper if it was on nylon. Thanks for the question.

Des: do you even want a jack pike
Me:i just want any fish 😭😭

I can't tell you the amount of takes I've had with lures below my feet as its coming out of the water.
Thank you sir :)
There's no chance that little popup will lift a bait that heavy.
Des using popper's???.….🤣🤣🤣
