Best Open Water Pike Lure
« on: Mar 13, 2004, 10:00 PM »
Colorado has lakes with good pike populations, but the action is often slow as the pike are well fed.
I just want to know, what is your favorite lure for numbers of pike? I have had the most luck on big spinners, spinnerbaits, soft plastic jerkbaits, and soft grubs or soft shad bodies like sassy shads on jigheads. What do you guys like for the elusive pike?

rapala huskyjerks in various colors. clearer water i use blue/silver and for murkier water, black/silver sides work best. there's so many lures that they will hit, and at other times have no interest.. on days like this, keep trying different presentations. they sometimes get so many things thrown at them, they become dis-interested.. grump

Beauty Moe!  Husky jerks in perch patterns when active, 4" steelhead maribou jigs when locked up, and #5 Blue fox spinners when others won't work.  Top water torpedo lure is really fun to watch them bust on a sunny day. ;D

I like both a spinnerbait pulled right over the top of the weeds after a rainstorm and I also like a a dardevle spoon.

I Do 2 differnt Rolly...One i have Custom made Perch Color Daredervil Spoon types done up...I like the action but don't care as much for the Old color DD spoons..So i get Perch color ones instead....But formost for Pike I'll use a spinner bait  Mepps Number 5-6 with Floresant Orange Blades with or without bucktail depending on If im in Musky territoriry or not! Anyhow Tight lines! I don't fish for them or Target them anymore but This is what i did use when i did.
Please Don't be offended by Germ and his Replys ..If any comments bother you please feel free to Send me a message Thru private mail and Ill   modify anything that Seems to upset ya. Tight Lines all!

Grew up tossing a red and white daredevil on clear days and a black and white one one heavy overcast days. It always caught a lot of pike especially varying the retrieve and pulling the lure once in a while and letting it flutter. Mepps Anlia in a gold #5 blade is hot, hot, hot in the fall. Lots of others may be better lures but those oldie but goodies work well for me.

A wide bladed, gold colored spinner pulled slowly through the water. Cleo's also. If I'm fishing shallower waters, which I normally am, I really like buzzbaits. I'm a buzzbait freak. Have lots of them. All kinds, colors, and sizes. With finecky pike, if you pull that buzzbait over his head enough times eventually he's going to get pi$$ed and kill it.

A Mepps #5 Black Fury (dressed or plain) has allways been good for lots of
"Hammer-Handles" for me.
If your only tool is a hammer, all of your problems start looking like nails.
