Best Open Water Pike Lure

[1tigger]

It really depends on the time of year. In the spring, I like suspending jerkbaits like huskyjerks and Smithwick Rogues, and soft plastic jerkbaits. In the summer smaller swimbaits like rapalas, spinnerbaits, and  Mepps bucktail spinners work. In the fall I like BIG spinners, 10" Fin-S fish soft jerkbaits (great around boats and docks), and big spoons (red/white daredevil, 5 o'Dimonds).

For colors....firetiger, perch, white and silver, silver/black, hot orange/Chart.

Looks like this post is settled, I agree with the quote above.

sorry I would have to say one method nobody mentioned.  Big smelts on bobbers. I have done alot of fishing in northern manitoba which is home to some massive pike (like in my photo under biggest pike) And the best and seemed to have the fish most interested is suspended but dead 8 to 10" fish of your choice hanging from a bobber.  Just always seems to outfish artificial baits wether they are active or not they will go for it. Caught many trophy's that way, well its the only way we do it now.

By far my favorite go to lure would have to be a Johnson silver minnow weedless spoon. i usually use either silver or gold and have the best luck trolling them.

#4 or #5 aglias work great for me.  Sometimes I'll use some smelly jelly on the blade to try and get a few more hookups.  The smelly jelly seems to be really productive in some lakes, but not in others.  Also, an Erie Dearie with some smelt on the trailer hook works well.

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?

i just went to the store yesterday and bought 2 of my go to lures for pike there made by a company called Apex tackle it's a 3.5 inch firetiger spoon.normally i get them snagged up on bottom and lose them. that's why i just got 2 more.as for top water pike lures i always use a weedless topwater frog.they love those too. these work well too but the neighbors don't like it.. yellow is a key color for Pike fishing IMO..
