Help Casting

Recommended Posts

I have reently started pike fishing and am having trouble casting dead baits with a float. I am using braid and have a stop knot but everytime I cast the stop knot moves, sometimes by quite a bit, i have tried using small shot but these just fly off, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please.

Also any help regarding rigs and simple set ups wouls be great. Thanks.

A bad day's fishing is better than a good day at work

Stick to lures at this time of the year, pike tend to hit a dead bait aggressively at this time of the year and that can lead to deep hooking.

 

The question of stop knots moving, I'm guessing that you are giving the cast too much wellie. Not a problem that I have had, but then I lob a deadbait rather than cast it, if you see what I mean.
