Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike anglers fishing deadbaits. It gives you a straightforward way to build a compact bait presentation with either a deck-level or popped-up finish.
- Anglers fishing pressured waters. The kebab shape and lifted option offer something different from a standard whole deadbait.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a complete pike rig. You’ll still need the appropriate trace, hooks and end tackle to fish it safely.
- Anyone only fishing large whole deadbaits. The kit is aimed at fish chunks and kebab-style presentations, not simply mounting an untouched full bait.

Quick verdict
A cracking little deadbait helper
The Fox Predator Kebab Kit is a simple, focused bit of predator tackle. Push your fish chunks onto the pin, secure them with the bait fin, and you’ve got a tidy kebab-style presentation ready for the margins, a river swim or a stillwater deadbait spot.
The included popper gives you the option to lift the bait clear of the bottom, which can make the presentation stand out on pressured waters. It won’t replace thoughtful rig placement or a sensible trace, but it takes a fair bit of bait-fiddling out of the equation.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Predator Kebab Kit
Deadbaiting for pike is often all about giving the fish a clear, tasty-looking target without turning the rig into a complete tackle-box explosion. That’s where the Fox Predator Kebab Kit comes in. It’s a compact little presentation system for building a deadbait from fish chunks, with the option to fish it hard on the bottom or popped up above it.
The idea is pleasingly simple. Push your chosen fish pieces onto the pin, attach that pin to your trace or treble hook, then use the bait fin to help hold everything in place. You end up with a compact kebab rather than a loose pile of bait sliding about during the cast or settling untidily on the deck.
That matters when you’re fishing a clean spot and want the bait sitting exactly where you put it. It also helps when you’re working a small offering in a margin swim, beneath an overhanging tree or across a firm patch between weed. Less faff on the bank is always a result, especially when the light is fading and the rods are ready to go.
The clever bit is the included popper. Add it to the presentation and your bait can lift off the bottom, giving the pike a different silhouette and making the chunks easier to see above silt, leaf litter or low weed. You’re not tied to one look, which is bob on when the fish are being awkward or have seen the usual deadbait tricks all season.
For a bottom presentation, the kit keeps things close to the deck and lets you fish the bait where pike naturally expect an easy meal. Think edges, channels, boat tracks and those quiet little spots where a bait can sit without being dragged through a load of chod. Keep the chunks neat and don’t overdo the size; a tidy kebab usually beats a scruffy handful.
The popped-up option is more than just a gimmick. On a silty lakebed, a bait lying flat can disappear. Lift it and the scent, shape and colour become more obvious. In a weedy water, it can help keep the offering visible above the worst of the stems. Just make sure the buoyancy suits the bait you’re using and the position you want.
Fox offers the current kit in Red and Natural Grey. The colour choice gives you a little control over how obvious the presentation looks, although the bigger decision is normally bait size, hook placement and depth. Pick the colour that fits your confidence, then concentrate on putting the kebab on a proper spot.
Each pack contains four complete kits, and every kit has a pin, popper and bait fin. That makes it easy to prepare a few presentations before you leave home, or keep spares ready when a cast into snags or a lively fish leaves the bait looking worse for wear. Four goes is a decent little session buffer.
Do remember what this product is, though. It’s not a complete pike rig and it doesn’t replace a suitable trace, hooks or safe unhooking kit. It’s the presentation end of the job. Used with the right predator tackle, it’s a handy way to make deadbait chunks look more deliberate, more visible and a bit less same-old.

Our take
Why the pop-up option matters
Deadbait fishing can sometimes get a bit samey: lob out a whole bait, settle the rig and wait for the alarm to scream. The Kebab Kit gives you another look, letting you build a compact fishy offering and either leave it hard on the deck or pop it up.
That change of height can be useful where weed, silt or nuisance debris makes a bottom bait less obvious. It’s also a neat option when the pike have seen plenty of standard deadbaits. A different shape and position can be just the cheeky edge you’re after.
Closer look
A compact deadbait presentation system
The current Fox Predator Kebab Kit contains four complete presentations. Each one has a pin, a popper and a bait fin. The pin is attached to your trace or treble hook, then fish chunks are pushed onto it to create the kebab shape.
The bait fin helps secure the pieces so they don’t immediately slide off or turn into a soggy mess. Use reasonably firm chunks, push them on carefully and keep the presentation compact. It’s a much tidier approach than hoping loose pieces stay around the hook.
Worth knowing. The current product codes are FAC109 for Red and FAC110 for Natural Grey. Don’t confuse this with the older Kebab & Popper Kit, which was FAC007.
Who it suits
Built for pike anglers who like options
This kit suits predator anglers who fish deadbaits but don’t want every rod showing the same whole-fish presentation. The bottom option is useful over clean, firm ground, while the popper lets you lift chunks above silt, leaf litter or low weed.
It’s also a handy choice on pressured waters. A compact kebab can look different from the standard deadbait offering, and changing the height gives you another card to play when the pike are ignoring the obvious stuff.
Prepare a couple at home, carry the spares in your tackle bag and keep your trace and hook arrangement sensible. In a margin swim, place the bait accurately rather than launching it miles for the sake of it. Sometimes the biggest pike is sat in the quiet bit beside your boots.
FAQs in full
The useful bits before you buy
Is it for bottom fishing or pop-up fishing? Both. Use the pin, bait fin and fish chunks for a bottom presentation, or add the included popper when you want the bait lifted from the deck.
What bait should you use? The kit is intended for fish chunks, so choose pieces that are firm enough to push onto the pin without tearing. Keep the kebab compact and make sure the hook and trace arrangement remains suitable for safe pike fishing.
Does it make a complete rig? No. It’s the bait presentation part. You need to pair it with an appropriate predator trace, treble hook setup and the rest of your pike tackle.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Gives you bottom and popped-up deadbait options in one compact kit.
- The pin, popper and bait fin make a complete presentation rather than a loose collection of bits.
- Handy for making small fish chunks sit neatly and visibly.
- Four complete kits per pack is useful when you’re carrying spare rigs or fishing more than one rod.
Worth knowing
- It’s a presentation aid, not a complete predator rig, so you still need a suitable trace and hook arrangement.
- Small bait pieces need pushing on carefully; rush it and you can tear the bait or make a scruffy kebab.
- The popper changes buoyancy and height, but you’ll still need to consider bait size, hook position and water conditions.
