Bait Box Large 6.5ins-7.5ins Smelt

Please note this item CANNOT BE POSTED but is available to ORDER ON LINE FOR COLLECTION FROM THE TACKLE BOX.

A must-have bait in every pike anglers cool box. Large smelt are ideal for pike and specimen zander. These small estuarine fish have accounted for a huge number of pike and zander over the years. 3-4 per pack.

Smelt are one of the most versatile of all pike baits. When ledgering or poppin-up fish with upper treble in the tail of the bait and the lower treble in the top of the body. When fishing sink and draw, or in rivers, fish ‘head-up’ the trace, with the top hook through both jaws and the lower hook in the flank. When fishing on a float paternoster or drifter, fish with the top treble just on front of the dorsal fin and the lower treble under the chin.

• Tough skin means they can be cast long distances and even used for wobbling and sink-and-draw style fishing.
• Unique ‘cucumber-like’ smell, that predators find irresistible.
• Pale colour stands out well and can be seen from distance, also perfect for dyeing with our Bait Dyes.
• Easy to pop-up using Bait Poppers.
