JRC Defender Deadbait Rod Deal – Complete 10ft pike deadbait setup with free tackle
The JRC Defender Deadbait Rod Deal is a complete pike fishing package built around the JRC Defender 10ft 3.00lb rod and DAM Quick 2 FS 6000 freespool reel. Priced at only €139, this package saves €40 and includes a Shamrock 25g Pike Float Kit, Westin Multi Purpose Deadbait Rig, Fox Rage Predator Kebab & Popper Kit and 300m of Berkley Flex SS Pike Deadbait Mono Line.
The 10ft rod gives a manageable setup for bank fishing while retaining the 3.00lb test curve needed for casting deadbaits and controlling strong pike. The DAM 6000FS reel adds a freespool system that allows a taking fish to move with the bait under controlled resistance before the main drag is engaged. With float, trace, pop-up accessories and 25lb mono included, the deal covers both float-fished and bottom deadbait presentations on lakes, canals and slower rivers.

Why It Works for Irish A
Westin Tommy the Trout Inline 20cm 100g Shiro Rainbow – Slow-Sinking Pike Swimbait
The Westin Tommy the Trout Inline 20cm 100g Shiro Rainbow is a large, highly realistic jointed swimbait designed for serious pike fishing. The Shiro Rainbow colour takes its name from the Japanese word “shiro”, meaning white, and uses a light, semi-translucent appearance to create a natural rainbow trout-style profile in the water.
At 20cm and 100g, this lure offers a substantial prey profile while retaining a smooth, realistic S-shaped swimming action. It begins swimming at approximately 1 knot / 1.8km/h, allowing it to work effectively at very slow speeds when pike are following cautiously or feeding less aggressively.
The slow-sinking design is well suited to Irish lakes, rivers and deeper canal sections where anglers need to control running depth around weed lines, drop-offs and open water. An additional wire eyelet allows a switch weight to be fitted when stronger wind, greater depth or faster sinking is required.

Why It Works for Irish Anglers
The 20cm profile and 100g weight make this lure particularly suited to larger Irish loughs and deeper predator waters where big prey presentations can appeal to larger pike. Its slow-sinking behaviour gives anglers time to work the lure above weed, along shelves or through open water without it dropping too quickly out of the strike zone.
