Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Deadbait Retainer is designed for predator anglers who struggle with soft baits, such as sardines or blueys, detaching during long-distance casts. By providing a secure mounting system that locks the bait to the hook, it ensures your rig remains intact through the entire cast and retrieve cycle; however, users should note that the retainer requires a short learning curve to master the positioning on the hook shaft.

FAQs
Can I reuse the PikePro Deadbait Retainer?
Yes, the retainer is durable and designed to be reused across multiple fishing sessions.
Will this work with single hooks?
The retainer is specifically optimized for use with treble hooks as the shaft holes are designed to accommodate the hook geometry.
Does the retainer affect the hook's hooking ability?
No, when installed correctly, the retainer sits on the shank of the hook and does not interfere with the exposure of the hook points.
Is it compatible with all types of deadbait?
It is best suited for softer baits like sardines, blueys, and herrings that are prone to tearing.
Can I use it without the Bait Poppers?
Yes, it functions perfectly as a standard bait securing device without the need for additional popping accessories.
Troubleshooting
Bait is still sliding off during the cast
Ensure the silicone tube is pushed fully down over the T-peg and check that the treble hook is properly passed through both holes in the shaft.
Silicone tube is difficult to slide on
Apply a very small amount of water or saliva to the T-peg shaft to reduce friction before sliding the tube on.
Pros and Cons

- Secure, semi-permanent attachment to the hook
- Compatible with various bait types like sardines and blueys

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your hook is of an appropriate size to allow the barbed point to pass through the retainer shaft holes comfortably. Because the unit is semi-permanently fixed, check the integrity of the silicone tube before every session to ensure it hasn't become brittle or cracked. When finished for the day, rinse the retainer in fresh water to remove salt or lake debris, especially after fishing in brackish or tidal waters, to prevent any corrosion or buildup. Store in your tackle box away from direct heat to maintain the elasticity of the silicone components.
