Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Bait Elastic is designed for pike anglers who utilize soft deadbaits and require a reliable method to secure bait to their treble hooks during high-impact casts. By offering a high-strength, stretchy fiber, it ensures your bait remains perfectly positioned for presentation without the need for complex knots. While it excels at preventing premature bait detachment, users should note that the elastic must be wrapped with appropriate tension to avoid crushing softer bait tissues.

FAQs
Does this leave a residue on the bait?
No, the material is a clean, inert fiber designed specifically for fishing and will not taint the bait.
Can I reuse the elastic?
It is recommended to use fresh elastic for each new bait attachment to ensure maximum strength.
Will this work with live bait?
While intended for deadbaits, it can be used for live baiting if applied gently, though it should not restrict the bait's movement.
How long is the spool?
The PikePro Bait Elastic comes with 30 meters of material.
Is the material biodegradable?
The fiber is synthetic and highly durable; please ensure you collect and dispose of used elastic pieces properly.
Troubleshooting
Elastic snapping during application
Reduce the amount of stretch applied while wrapping; the material is strong but will fail if over-extended beyond its elasticity limit.
Elastic slipping off the bait
Ensure you are catching the hook shank during the winding process to create an anchor point for the elastic.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents bait from flying off during powerful casts
- Extremely easy and quick to apply in cold or wet conditions
- Highly visible container makes it easy to find in a crowded tackle bag
- Works effectively with a wide range of soft deadbait sizes
Cons
- Requires careful tension control to avoid damaging delicate bait
- Small dispenser can be difficult to manage with very cold or numb fingers
- The thin fiber can be tricky to see against dark water if dropped
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the PikePro Bait Elastic, pull the required amount from the hi-vis container and place your deadbait against the hook shank. Pass the elastic over the bait, tension it slightly, and wind it around the hook and bait shank several times. You do not need to tie the end; the natural adhesion of the stretched fiber keeps it in place.
Care Instructions
- Store the container in a dry compartment of your tackle box.
- Avoid leaving the spool in direct, high-intensity sunlight for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the elastic fiber.
- Ensure the exit hole of the dispenser is free from debris to prevent the line from snagging inside.
