Pike flies are mostly large patterns of flies tied on hooks, but also on larger, thicker tubes. Due to their above-standard size, these lures are most often 15-18 cm long, and there are also larger, much larger pike streamers up to 25 cm long. There are even larger ones made on two hooks connected together – tandem flies. They are made for the spinning method and are most often used with a Cheburashka sinker.
