Ahh.....next to Lakers, my favourite fish to catch. Like the others have said, pike aren't very picky most of the time. Like James said, the red/white Daredevil (knock-off's work just as good), five-of-diamonds work good too (what I call'em, forget the actual name). Then safety-pin style spinnerbaits are always good, especially with a power grub as a trailer. Also, a long (6'-7') powerbait or sluggo will also work wonders most of the time. Don't make fun of me, but if you cut a broom handle, paint'er up red and white and add some hooks, you got yourself a pretty good impression of a Zora Spook. Usually though, I try not to use Rapala's, Bombers, etc as when a 10 pound pike's thrashing around in the bottom of the canoe, I find one hook is enough trouble. The other reason is I've had a lot of pike suck'em deep, and then that just turns out to be a mess. Hope this helps in the slightest,
