Coarse Fishing Tackle Review: The Fox International Diablo Baitcaster Reel


In contrast to a number of anglers, I celebrate the arrival of winter. Why? Because prey fish tend to shoal up, and you are more liable to have a successful search for the clever killer that pursues them: the elusive pike. I have always favoured pike fishing. There's nothing more exciting than capturing one of these extremely efficient piscine killers, filled with a mouth totally full of spiky cutting teeth. So get on your warm clothing and start out for pike. Spots to look? Well, during last part of fall, you'll locate pike in weedy areas in quite shallow water, less than 6' deep. Afterwards, in early winter, concentrate your quest in deeper water, up to 15' deep. Pike like to gather all over structures such as ledges, islands and sunken trees. When I'm fishing for pike in winter, I have to have my coarse fishing tackle to be specially trusty and efficient. One reel I favour is the Diablo Baitcaster.
