Pike fishing in the Danube Delta with Strike Pro Pig Shad!
Any lure has its moment and can bring you an unforgettable game, as long as you fish it with confidence. When you trust, you fish much more carefully and much better than with a lure that you use for the first time. This is how I fished for pike in the Danube Delta with the Strike Pro Pig Shad JR 15cm for the first time. The story Pig Shad Jr. started in 2016.
Family Strike Pro Pig Shad
“During a foray into the Danube Delta I discussed with Stefan Trumstedt (Strike Pro CWC) about the possibility of producing a smaller Pig Shad, 13-15 cm, a perfect size in my opinion, both for enclosures and for natural fishing from U.S. Stefan then showed me the first Piglet models (10 cm, 7 g), too small this time, but good for perch and salt. After seeing what and how we fish in the Danube Delta, Stefan told me that he will definitely produce a new model of Pig Shad Jr. And he kept his word, I came into his possession, 15 cm 21 g, about what which must be. Big like! ” – continuation of the article here.
Danube Delta, pike fishing
As I wrote in the article above, I did the first tests at the pike, successfully, even if 15 centimeters is an atypical size for our pals. At the pike I always walked them through the kit, in the Danube Delta they naturally did not give results, in Sweden the size was too small, I was not on the premises personally, but there they caught very well, I gave a friend a few pieces as a gift. I really wanted to catch them naturally and I caught in the end, not a pike, two, a lot of bad.
LRS 2019
The revelation came last year at a stage of the national championship LRS from the Danube Delta, Isac-Uzlina area. I don't know how much the low water or the ARBDD catch & release measures mattered, but it is certain that it was one of the best years of pike fishing I have caught so far, with many large pike. During the official training, together with my teammate Robert Boanta, I kept changing tires trying to select the larger specimens, until I reached Pig Shad Jr. 15 cm. From here began the "slaughter", at least in the first round when this gum was the undisputed star of the game, as you saw in the video. The mount was embedded on a 7/0 offset hook with a small stinger attached to its curvature. It worked, we didn't take the grass on the anchor, and the extinguisher helps the hook to come out of the rubber quickly.
