How To Pop Up A Deadbait for Pike, Catfish, Perch, Eel & Zander

Here is the 2 methods I use to pop up a deadbait for Predator Species of fish, mostly I am a Pike angler so I have used this method to catch Pike but it has caught me Perch, Trout and Eels in the past so it works for all Predatory Species.

You can use a foam pop up ball or a pop up boilie, with the pop up foam balls they are super bouyant and come in different sizes and colours to lift up a bait off the bottom. I have been experimenting with the pop up boilies from Dynamite Baits these can be soaked in oils and they suck up the oils so there's an instant scent trail coming off them as soon as the bait has settled on the bottom.

David Scobie Angling Adventures stickers these are the perfect thing for your bait buckets and tackle boxes if you fancy picking up a few of them then please let me know.

Pike Fishing Tackle, this is a small run down of where I get my Pike Fishing Equipment. If you see me using something and the description isn’t here, then ask me and I’ll let you know.

The Rods for bait fishing I use are BB350 12’ 3.5lb tc & D-3 13’ 4lb tc these are made by Dave Lumb of DLST http://www.dlst.co.uk/index.html Mr Lumb is a artist when it comes to building fishing rods if you’re in the market for a rod built to your own desires then Dave is your man.

The Drop Arms I use are made by Pete Foster trust me these are the bog dangly bits as Pike Fishing Drop Arms go here’s a link to where you can get them from:-

Reels I tend to stick with Shimano Reels as I trust them, I use a few different models of Shimano Reel for Pike fishing from Big Pits to Bait Runners.
I get my bait oils, AFW Bleeding Leader Wire and terminal tackle from Eddie Turner https://www.eddieturner.co.uk/ Eddies Oil is simply the best there’s nothing that comes close to it in my humble opinion. He’s also a great font of knowledge and published author I have lost count of the times I’ve annoyed him for ideas on rigs and how best to fish certain locations.

I use happily recommend two Dead Bait bait companies one is Nev Fickling’s Lucebait’s http://www.thetackle-shop.co.uk/secti... the other is Scotland’s finest Gadda Baits http://www.gaddabaits.com/ both are excellent.

I happily recommend the tackle shop Fishing Tackle & Bait, https://www.fishingtackleandbait.co.uk/ in Enniskillen Northern Ireland. It’s my local shop it’s the sort of place I can go in and ask if they will order two different types of chair which they did I then picked one and bough it, not only was this not a bother to them they even matched the cheapest internet price for the chair I chose, David and the guys in FTB frequently bend over backwards to go that extra mile to help folk out.
I'm not sponsored by any of the above companies everything I have on the bank with me is something I’ve paid out my own pockets for it.

If you have any specific questions about the fishing tackle I use then feel free to ask me in the comments below this video or you can come on over to my Facebook page and I will happily answer any questions you have:-   / dfsangling
