Bicuda (Gar Characin) fishing
About Bicuda (Gar Characin)
The bicuda is a long, pike-like predatory characin of South American rivers, with a slim silver body, a beak-like jaw and a habit of slashing at baitfish near the surface. Anglers target it casting fast-retrieved spoons, spinners and topwater lures in open water and along sandbars, where it follows and strikes in spectacular surface chases. It runs and leaps when hooked, has a hard bony mouth that throws lures easily, and a wire or heavy mono leader helps against its teeth.
Typical size: Usually 1-3 kg; trophies over 5 kg, to about 1 m. Record (approx.): approx. 6 kg (varies by region).
