By Agitator To Catch More Predators!

1

GO FISHING WITH AN EXPERIENCED PREDATOR ANGLER

By going predator fishing with someone experienced, you will learn how to safely handle these fish to ensure that neither you or the fish comes to any harm.

3

LOCATE YOUR QUARRY

Predators like to be near their food source and areas where they can ambush prey. Fish visible structure and keep an eye out for bird activity on the water as well as baitfish topping.

5

MAKE THE MOST OF FEEDING SPELLS

Predator feeding spells will often last 30 minutes or less, if you catch a fish, make sure you get your bait or lure back out as quickly as possible after the release.

2

FISH AT TIMES WHEN PREDATORS ARE ACTIVE

Predators have feeding spells when they are actively on the hunt. Find out when these times are on your water and fish them.

4

MATCH THE HATCH

Matching your baits or lures to mimic the size and colour of the prey that the fish are feeding on can really increase your chances of success.

6

USE BRAIDED LINE

Braid has many benefits, it’s strong, very thin for its breaking strain, casts further than mono and has zero stretch. The lack of stretch means that even the most delicate of bites can be detected.

7

GO PREPARED

Fish care is vitally important, make sure you have the correct tools to remove or cut the hooks from any sized predator.

8

FISH ALL SEASONS FOR DIFFERENT SPECIES

Predator fishing isn’t just solely about pike, perch and zander, why not try for summer chub on surface lures, catfish on dead baits or even wrasse and bass in the sea.

9

INSPECT YOUR TACKLE

There is nothing worse than losing a fish due to a tackle failure that could have been avoided. Regularly check your braid, trace and hooks during a session for signs of damage.

10

NEVER GIVE UP

Predator fishing can be hard at times and everyone will have blank days. Never let a hard day put you off fishing for predators, you never know when that fish of a lifetime will bite.

With Agitator, the predator becomes the prey!

Whether it’s dead baiting for pike and zander, or spinning for perch and other coarse fish species, Agitator provides the hardware you need to tackle a multitude of techniques and add new dimensions to your angling.
