The right equipment is essential for successful cod fishing. At Angelplatz.de we offer you a wide range of high-quality products:

Cod rods: Robust and powerful rods with a length of 2,40 to 3,00 meters are ideal for safely landing the powerful cod. Pilk rods and boat rods are particularly recommended.

Cod rolls: Stationary and multiplier reels with high line capacity and strong brakes are perfect for fighting big cod.

cords: Braided lines with high breaking strength and low stretch enable direct bait guidance and a reliable strike.

bait: Pilkers, rubber fish and natural baits such as lugworms and ragworms are proven cod baits.

Techniques and methods for successful cod fishing

There are various techniques that can be used when fishing for cod. Two of the most popular methods are:

Pirk: When pirking, a metal artificial bait, the pirk, is moved vertically up and down. This technique imitates the movements of an injured fish and attracts the cod.

Natural bait fishing: When fishing with natural bait, bait such as lugworms, ragworms or pieces of fish are presented on the bottom. This method is particularly effective in areas with little current.

Pay attention to weather and tides: Cod are sensitive to changes in weather and tides. Cloudy skies and slightly choppy seas are often ideal conditions.

Search for structures: Cod like to stay near structures such as wrecks, reefs and sandbars. Use depth sounders to find these hotspots.

Vary bait guidance: Experiment with different lure presentations and speeds to find out what works best on your fishing day.

Sustainability in cod fishing

Sustainability is particularly important to us at Angelplatz.de. Observe the applicable catch quotas and closed seasons to protect stocks. Use barbless hooks and carefully release undersized fish to promote sustainable fishing.
