FAQs
What size trace should I use?
The size of the trace depends on the size of the pike you are targeting and the size of your lure. Heavier traces are better for larger pike and larger lures.
Can I use these traces for other types of fish?
While designed for pike, these traces can be used for other predatory fish with sharp teeth, if the size and strength are appropriate.
How often should I replace the traces?
Replace traces if they show any signs of wear, kinking, or rust. It's always best to replace a trace after catching a fish to ensure its integrity.
What type of lures are best with this trace?
These traces work well with various lures, including crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and spinnerbaits.
How do I untangle a twisted trace?
If the trace wire becomes twisted, carefully try to untwist it by hand. If it's severely tangled, it is best to replace the trace.
Can I sharpen the hooks?
It is not recommended to sharpen the hooks as it may damage the hook structure. Replace hooks or the entire trace for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Trace wire is kinked or damaged.
Replace the trace immediately to prevent breakage.
Hooks are dull.
Replace the treble hooks, or the entire trace, for optimal hooking performance.
Knots are slipping.
