Field Notes

Cast to pike holding areas and work it with short jerks and pauses for a side-to-side gliding action. You can also twitch it, run a straight retrieve, or troll; add a pause to let it slowly sink. Ideal when pike are feeding on smaller baitfish in shallower water.

  • Slow sinking with pauses to trigger strikes
  • Lead-free with high-grade hardware and #1 trebles

Cons

  • Trolling/straight retrieve may require experimentation to match local pike behavior
