Why Pike Follow But Don’t Strike | Pike Biology Explained Ep 4

Ever had a pike follow your lure all the way to the bank… and never take?
You’re not alone.

In this episode of Pike Biology Explained, I break down exactly why pike follow but don’t strike. What’s going on inside their head, their lateral-line system, and how vibration, geometry, and water clarity can make or break the hit.

I’ll walk you through real underwater footage of a 60-second follow, show the science behind it, and share how tiny changes in rhythm, angle, or signal can flip that hesitation into a strike.

Featuring real underwater pike behaviour, hydrodynamics explained, and field-tested tactics you can use on your next session.
