Claudio Munno

What was your biggest pike / perch / zander?

Pike: 131cm
Perch: 51cm
Zander: 97cm

What is your favorite fish? The perch

What tip would you give to beginners in the sport of fishing? Enjoy the time with friends and family on the water, help each other and help others because fishing is not a competition but a passion that you live together.

What's the most unusual thing you've ever caught while fishing? I wanted to call it a night, hadn't caught any fish yet because I was a bit frustrated, so I quickly took the bait out of the water and chopped an eel by the tail. That only happens once in a lifetime perhaps 😅

What is your favorite SPRO lure and why? The Wob-Shad has always been my favorite for pikeperch and zander since it came on the market. It seems to produce the perfect frequency underwater, whether it's the small or the larger versions. I've caught predators with it that exceed the magic limits.

What was your biggest pike / perch / zander?

Pike: 105cm
Perch: 47cm
Zander: 87cm

What is your favorite fish? Zander, perch

What tips would you give to beginners in the sport of fishing? You can learn the basics from books or videos, and I can recommend SPRO TV and the Predator Guide on the website.

However, you can only gain experience on the water yourself.
Have confidence in what you are doing, even if things don't go so well.
Stay flexible but don't doubt yourself.
Just have fun doing what you do and enjoy your time on the water.

What's the most unusual thing you've ever caught while fishing? A 10cm bream while bottom fishing, but not with the bait on the hook, it swam into the feed basket and couldn't get out. 🙈

What is your favorite SPRO lure and why? For classic zander fishing with soft lures, definitely the Pop Eye.
The body is robust and can withstand a few bites.
The thin tail still allows a perfect run and folds up well when sucked in. It is also available in cool colors.

For perch fishing, you absolutely must try the Insta Craw on the Carolina Rig.

And the Flash Jerk is already one of my favorite jerks when it comes to pike.
