The best spoons for pike in the fall: TOP-10 catchy spoons and spinners with photos

In the last 10-15 years, spinningists have gradually changed their preferences in choosing lures for catching predatory fish.
Wobblers and
jig silicone lures during the “warm” season are more popular with most colleagues than
oscillating and
spinning lures . But in autumn everything changes (especially late in October-November) and “iron” naturally comes to the fore, spinners are especially popular and in demand when fishing for autumn pike – it is with the cooling of the air and water that the toothed tooth begins to actively hunt and catch up fat before freezing.
Unforgettable oscillating and spinning lures in the cold season in open water will give odds to the coolest wobblers and the currently fashionable silicone. We will figure out what to look for when choosing a spoon for fishing pike in the fall (how to choose the size, color, shape, etc.), and also offer our TOP-10 working spinners and catchy spoons for the autumn predator.

Pike is perhaps the main autumn trophy, which can be caught with medium and large hooters, as well as heavy turntables in the middle latitudes of Russia and the CIS countries.

What is it, an autumn catchy spoon for pike – general parameters for choosing a turntable and a spoiler

You need to understand that autumn is a long time, and within 90 calendar days the weather conditions change dramatically, which means that the habits of the predator, its preferences in parking areas and when choosing a spoon, change.

TOP-10 catchy turntables and
spoons for pike, regardless of the season.

What spinners are needed for a toothed striped on the break of summer-autumn in September

In early autumn, in September, while the water has not completely cooled down, the pike still continues to hunt on river stretches and on channel and coastal edges, sometimes even going aground in pursuit of white whites. At this time, small and medium-sized spoons are still relevant, along with other types of lures, – both spoons and turntables, which worked in the summer. There are several requirements for lures:

1. Sufficient casting range . This is especially true if fishing is carried out from the shore.
2. Have lazy low frequency sweeping play .
3. In relation to turntables – start at the slowest wiring .
4. Size matters . The pike prefers medium and large sized spoons, especially in late autumn in November and early December before freezing. Lures from 5-7 cm up to 12-14 cm are the best.
5. Keep the current, do not overwhelm or go into a tailspin . Especially important when using spinning lures.
6. For fishing in strong places, you need spinners with one or another protection from the hook .
7. The ability of the spoon to mimic the behavior of the fry as reliably as possible .

What lure does the pike take in late autumn in October and November

During this period of the season, the air and water cool down, and the pike gradually rolls down to the deepest areas of the reservoir – into pits, on channel and coastal edges, areas of reservoirs where there are areas with pronounced depths. At this time, it is appropriate to use heavier and more massive vibrators, as well as front-loaded turntables, oriented to depths of 4 meters and more. Size for pike spoons in the late autumn season is from 2 inches and more, up to 5. For spinners 3-5 sizes according to the Meps classification.

Color issue

In early autumn, the water is cloudy and various provocative acid and fluorescent colors are often effective. In late autumn, the water becomes transparent and standard colors show themselves well – matt silver and shine, brass, copper and their combination.

The most catchy spoons for pike in the fall

In the last 10-15 years, there has been another surge in the popularity of rotating and especially oscillating spoons, both
ultralight and aimed at a trophy predator. In this regard, the market is literally inundated with various spoons from the cheapest Chinese to very expensive Japanese and Europeans, and all this variety is served with a sauce from craft hand-made spoons and turntables.

Therefore, it is very difficult to choose the most catchy baubles (in this case, for pike fishing in autumn), it is always a subjective rating and not always what works for one spinner will work for another. Our, albeit a subjective rating, is, as usual, based on personal many years of experience (the author has been catching pike on spoons since the age of 5 and for exactly 30 years already quite successfully), reviews and advice from colleagues in offline and online, as well as skeptical but reasonable analysis literature and sites. It is also worth noting that the choice of a spoon is always dictated by the fishing conditions (type of reservoir, current strength, depth, illumination), weather and predator activity.

So, TOP-10 of the best working vibrators, successfully used in most cases for the autumn pike:

1. Mepps Syclops 2 and 3 numbers . A powerful swaying device, especially well proved to be on lakes, oxbows, reservoirs and bays for large autumn pike (although the conditional “kiloshka” often flies in). A very stubborn, chic and wide-playing spoon. Works on the slowest lazy wiring with pauses, on which it pours gorgeous like a wounded fry. Of the minuses – it sails on casts, it is not suitable for medium and strong currents, a slightly overpriced price tag.
2. Rapala Minnow Spoon . 9.15, 22 grams. Non-hook-type vibrator for pike standing and hunting in strong places. A very interesting game, thanks to its non-trivial form. We recommend using Minnow Spoon as a provocateur, when other spinners are silent, using various types of stop-and-go, wavy animation.
3. Atom (Atom) in the weight range of 15-30 grams. The famous fighter, known and successfully used by our grandfathers and fathers. It does not lose popularity even now, it is especially good in autumn. Among the numerous manufacturers that produce this shaker, we recommend the old Soviet ones, as well as Senezh, Spineks, Bubnov. It has a narrowed nose, so it keeps the flow well, works on the slowest passages with and without pauses. I can recommend to beginners – Atom is cheap, very clear in operation and continues to catch pike. There are also non-chimney Atoms for the snag.
4. DAM Effzett Standart Spoon 16-45 grams. Large spoons for trophy pike and catfish, adhering to great depths and water areas, that’s it. For shore fishing, boat fishing and trolling. Interesting colors and execution of scales. Expensive, but if there is an opportunity and need for such serious scales, it is worth purchasing.
5. Blue Fox Esox . Wide swing with sweeping play on a classic uniform to the liking of a predator. A large number of color solutions for cloudy and clear weather, as well as for various turbidity of water.
6. Kuusamo Professor the entire model range from 10 grams and above . Finnish shaker, catchy and … expensive. But it’s worth it. Numerous colors and an exclusive bead version. On pauses, it pours interestingly and plays around. A favorite animation option is a slow posting with pauses, during which the Professor falls to the bottom and then explodes with a cloud of turbidity. It is at such moments that the grip often follows. Of the minuses – it does not fly very well (it is better to make throws in the wind), and, of course, the price tag.
7. Kuusamo Rasanen from 10 grams and above . Another representative of Kuusamo. A wide spoon, does not sink quickly, at pauses it slowly falls with turns and pirouettes. Recommended for early autumn pike standing in pits, as well as on shallow oxbows / lakes with depths of 1-3 meters.
8. Pontoon-21 Sampliora models from 14 to 39 grams . A real pike treat. Bulky, heavy, noticeable. From the point of view of both the fisherman and the predator, a large number of interesting solutions have been implemented in the shaker (more about them on the manufacturer’s website), which catches not only pike, but also a spinning player).
9. Blue Fox Matrixx Spoon 15 to 36 grams . A variant of a running and heavy swaying on an autumn pike for a medium and fast current.
10. Acme Little Cleo 19, 21, 35 grams . The most famous shaker with a wide profile. Slow wiring, upstream or across the stream.

In this rating, spinners from different price categories are considered (among others, very expensive baits), so that each spinning player has a choice for different possibilities. Let’s briefly touch on the topic of manufacturers who, despite the budget, make decent quality spinners. Some are easier to get to readers from Ukraine, some to fishermen from the Russian Federation and other CIS countries. So, we recommend that you pay attention to the spinners (especially the oscillating ones) from such manufacturers – Rublex, Spinnex, Kosadaka, Blue Fox, Mepps, as well as various heavy Soviet Shtorleks, Atoms, Senezhi, Spoons, etc. Best Heaters for Fall: https://youtu.be/YDuG5Gm4ifo

What spinners to choose for an autumn pike?

The best spinners for pike in the fall (tested in practice, backed by theory):

1. Mepps Aglia Long, rooms 3-5– an unforgettable classic among spinning lures from eminent French. Beginners should start with this spinner – Aglia Long is a versatile tool that works in any conditions and in any hands (well, almost …). Effective on bodies of water and rivers. Accepts different speed of wiring, without getting lost in a tailspin and not being squeezed out to the surface. The working horizon is 1-3 meters. On a passive pike – the uniformity is as slow as possible, on the verge of a petal failure with or without pauses. On active, more aggressive posting with accelerations and pauses. On the current on the pits and on the curbs, the wiring across the stream for demolition is good. A wide range of colors will allow you to choose Long for any conditions. Numbers 3-5 are a very tasty piece of iron for an autumn pike. It flies relatively well, but if you need the longest possible cast,then we recommend the next option on the list …
2. Mepps Aglia Long heavy , numbers 2-4 . Heavy “sister” of Long, suitable for fishing pits and edges with depths of 2-6 meters. It holds the jet well and the given wiring horizon. The turntable is very bright, but requires the appropriate tackle with a power reserve according to the test.
3. Mepps Lusox 3 and 4 rooms . Front loaded spinner from the same French. Best in class in our opinion. The best option for fishing deep pits, whirlpools, channel edges, bays. The heads, as well as the “anchors”, are interchangeable. That gives a wide field for the use of Lusox. With heavy heads, the lure can be used in a jig version – a step along the bottom, wavy near the bottom and in the water column, stop-and-go. With light and medium weights and without loading, you can fish the upper and middle layer of the water area. If necessary, you can replace standard downy tees with anti-snag anchors.
4. Mepps Aglia 3-7 rooms , the size is selected depending on the conditions. A very stubborn lure with a sweeping, high-amplitude play even at the lowest speed. It is unlikely to be suitable for strong and medium currents. But you can successfully fish stagnant reservoirs or areas of rivers with a slow current with such spoons. Along with the standard set of colors, there is a series of Phosphorus, Fluo , Chartreuse and others, which have shown themselves to be of high quality over the past years.
5. Mepps Black Fury 5, 14 grams . An interesting option, in our opinion, is in most cases more catchy than the standard Comet from the same Mepps. Many different colors for different weather conditions, the mood of the predator and the transparency of the water.
6. Blue Fox Vibrax 5, 6 . The large numbers of the famous Blue Foxes can seduce a trophy specimen over a wide area and at great and medium depths. The shape of the petal is similar to the Comet from Mepps. But unlike Comets, they are equipped with a rattle, which can be both a plus and a minus, depending on the mood of the predator.
7. Mepps tandem pike is one of the best turntables in the tandem form factor. The two-blade design creates powerful vibrations underwater along with maximum visual irritation that provokes the pike to grip. The whole structure is clearly verified and the rotation of the petals does not fail at a wide variety of drive speeds, which is very important when fishing in the current. If necessary, it can be weighted down with removable weights for fishing at great depths. In this version, we get a front-loaded rotating tandem for pike fishing. Collects fish in large areas, thanks to the mentioned stimuli – visual, verbal and noise. Driving at minimum speed in a uniform mode is the best option for passive sleepy November pike.
8. DAM Effzett Standart Spinner numbers 3-5. Cool spinner for a bearable price tag. Good on slow water in the context of depths of 1-4 meters. Starts very well, does not crash at any wiring speed.
9. Myran Mira 15 and 20 grams , this weight is optimal if we speak in the context of the autumn pike. A worthy answer from the Swedes to the French from Mepps. Classic colors brass, copper, silver, gold. Classic Murano uniform. And the same catchability. It is equipped with a front sight that makes the turntable sail a little on the wiring, therefore we recommend using it at depths of 1-3 meters. Slightly more expensive Mepps and Pantun 21, but a couple of pieces in a box is worth having.
10. Myran Toni 12, 18 grams . Heavy core spinner. Works on pike and large deep-sea bass.

Only by gaining experience, the spinning player will be able to put all the letters of the alphabet into a beautiful autumn poem on a given topic.
