Product Information
Full details
PikePro Bait Flags (Q25) are essential terminal tackle accessories designed for serious pike anglers who require a secure method for attaching bait to treble hooks. By keeping bait firmly in place during long-range casts and aggressive water movement, these flags ensure your presentation remains effective; however, they require careful application to avoid damaging delicate baitfish tissues during the rigging process.

FAQs
Can these flags be reused?
Yes, Bait Flags can be reused multiple times provided they maintain their elasticity and grip on the hook.
Are they visible to the pike?
The colors are designed to act as an attractant, making them visible to pike, which is particularly effective in pressured waters.
Do I need special tools to attach them?
No, they can be easily applied by hand, though a pair of forceps can assist in cold conditions.
What is the benefit of colors other than red?
Different colors provide variation in attraction, which can trigger a predatory response when pike have become accustomed to red bait markers.
Will this affect the way my bait swims?
The impact is minimal due to their lightweight design, allowing the bait to retain its natural appearance and movement.
Troubleshooting
Flag slides off the hook during cast
Ensure the hook point is fully seated within the flag material or use a smaller flag size for a tighter fit.
Bait tears when applying the flag
Apply the flag more gently and ensure it is positioned on the firmest part of the baitfish.
Difficulty threading the flag onto the hook
Lubricate the hook tip slightly or ensure the hole in the flag is clear of debris.
Pros and Cons

- Available in multiple colors to increase attraction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread your treble hook through the bait as normal, then slide the PikePro Bait Flag onto the hook point to act as a retainer. Ensure the flag is snug against the bait but not over-tightened to prevent premature tearing of the bait skin.
These flags are compatible with most standard treble hooks used in pike fishing. Regarding care, store the flags in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the material. Always inspect the flags for signs of wear after several casts and replace them if the gripping power decreases.
