There is a range of ways that you can catch a predator. For freshwater in the warmer months, pike fly fishing tackle is ideal. The right pike fly rod will increase pleasure and performance on open banks. We also stock a range of lure fishing rods that offer fast casting action. A lure rod in the UK waters will assist in jig fishing and long casting. Bass lure rods will land you a largemouth bass or pike whereas you can catch trout with a spinning rod. For optimal casting and middle of the road angling, a 9ft spinning rod offers a robust structure and often features small eyes and a forefinger grip trigger. A predator spin rod is very similar to bait casting rods which allow for the larger patterns when targeting the monster predators.
