The search should be implemented by probing every layer of the water column, which, given the high temperatures of the liquid element, registers the presence of predators even in the surface layers. These polyhedral artificials, to exert their maximum attractive power, must be retrieved with linear, slow and steady movement so as to trigger the predators' killer instinct.

This is the combo I use: 2.40 mt rod with effective casting power identified in the 20/50 gr range combined with a 4000 size reel with smooth movement and precise and progressive clutch; in the spool the excellent home-made super braided line Ace, l' 8XPE Perfect Storm of thickness mm 0.15 to the top of which I am going to connect with a double knot Albright a piece of about a meter and a half of terminal in fluorocarbon, l' Asso Premium 0.30 mm thick.

Taxing when it comes to pike is the use of steel wire at least 40 cm long.

I would like to remark on the excellent quality of the braid 8XPE Perfect Storm which, thanks to its qualities of strength and elongation of zero, have made me allowed me to wade specimens of pike weighing several kilograms with an absolute reliability that proved to be the best weapon for completing in my favor even the heaviest fights. In addition, in this autumn/winter technique, the good behavior of this braided superfilament even in low temperatures gives me ample margin for use in the most probing environmental conditions.
