August 29, 2008, Newsletter Issue #100: Try Big Plastics for Pike

Tip of the Week


Pike are aggressive feeders and will hit a soft-plastic shad body or large leech-imitating bait.

Use a jig in the one-half to three-quarters ounce size. Hook the soft plastic bait on and hop the lure along the edge of weed beds, tapering points or woody cover. You can also bang the jighead off rocks and wood to create the kind of commotion that attract these toothy predators.

Bring a supply of plastic baits with you. Northern pike will literally tear a bait up in short order.
