Devon Baits Lamprey Sections 4 per Pack

Description

Frozen Lamprey Sections 4 per PackFor pike anglers targeting heavy, specimen fish, lamprey remains one of the single most devastating deadbaits available. Gerrys Fishing Frozen Lamprey Sections are packed with natural blood, dense fats, and an exceptionally strong aroma that creates a thick, long-lasting scent trail in the water. Pre-cut into ready-to-use portions, these sections eliminate the mess of cutting tough-skinned lamprey on the bank, allowing you to get a high-attract bait out into the swim in seconds.The thick, tough skin of lamprey holds hooks exceptionally well, ensuring your bait stays securely mounted even during long-range casts or in flow. Unlike softer fish baits that wash out or break down quickly, lamprey sections continuously leech off blood and oils over prolonged periodsmaking them an absolute essential for winter pike campaigns, murky water, and high-pressure venues where static fish need extra encouragement to feed.

Pro Tip

Because lamprey skin is exceptionally tough, nick your hooks through the skin and nick a small hole or lightly slice into the exposed flesh section before casting. This slight score exposes more raw flesh directly to the water column, instantly accelerating the release of blood and scent without weakening the baits durability on the hook.For added attraction in freezing winter temperatures, try popping a lamprey section 3 to 6 inches off the lakebed using a bait foam insert or pop-up peg. Elevating the bait keeps it clear of bottom debris and allows the heavy oils to drift freely through the water column, drawing cruising pike directly to your rig.

Where & How to Use

• Silty or Heavy Weed Lakes: Present on a popped-up ledger rig to keep the bait proud of the silt line and easily visible to patrolling predators.
• Low-Visibility & Colored Water: The strong natural blood trail makes this bait highly effective when pike are relying on smell and sensory lateral lines rather than sight.
• Winter Pike Fishing: Exceptional in cold water conditions where pike are lethargic and require a high-fat, highly concentrated scent trail to trigger a feeding response.
• Rivers & Running Water: The tough skin holds up against current, while the steady release of scent creates a natural down-stream attractor trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hooks should I use on a lamprey section?A standard two-hook treble trace (size 6 or 8) works brilliantly. Seat one treble securely into the tough skin near the top and the second hook near the mid-section or cut edge to ensure solid hook-up ratios.Can I refreeze lamprey sections if I dont use them all?It is best practice to avoid refreezing deadbaits once completely thawed, as thawing and refreezing softens the flesh and reduces the concentration of scent. Keep unused sections in an insulated cool bag with ice packs on the bank to keep them firm throughout your session.Are these suitable for hair rigging?Yes. Due to the firm structure of lamprey, you can thread them onto a heavy hair rig or wire trace stop, making them a great option for subtle presentations or when target fish are extra cautious around exposed trebles.
