Whitefish fishing

Fishing for whitefish is easy and enjoyable. The hobby is easy to pick up and only requires regular casting equipment. 

Bottom-fishing is simple: Cast the sinker and bait to the bottom using casting equipment. As the sinker hits water, reel the line back a bit to straighten the leader before the bait is at the bottom. Then lift the rod up and wait for the whitefish to bite. You can attach a small bell to the rod to indicate bites. After the bell rings to notify of a bite, wait for a moment before reeling in your catch.

Worms are the most popular bait for whitefish. It is advisable to leave the tip of the hook visible when baiting it with a worm. You should bring a good number of bait with you, as whitefish may be quite ravenous. Our range includes rods, reels, and other accessories for whitefish.

For a whitefish set you will need a spinning rod, sinker, monofilament leader, and a single hook. You can also attach a whitefish bell to the tip of your rod as a bite indicator.

FAQ

How does a baitrunner reel work?

Baitrunner reels have a separate free-spool drag system that allows the spool to rotate with a chosen level of resistance. When you start turning the handle, the baitrunner function disengages during the first turn and the reel’s main fighting drag takes over.

Baitrunner reels are particularly useful for bottom fishing, for example when targeting carp, zander, eel or pike, as they allow the fish to take the bait and swim away without feeling significant resistance from the line.
