crossover Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 What size Husky Jerk is good for pike? I'm shore fishing so I need something a bit heavy to cast out further. The sizes are 8, 10, 12, and 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Take what you'll be comfortable to cast with cause all those sizes will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrb2007 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I agree with Roy......all of those will work. Don't forget a few spinners as well. They'll cast a good ways and are great for gaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry2Rs Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 If you haven't figured it out yet, the number of Rapala baits is the length in millimetres. The real question is, what weight will your rod cast best? Again, you're probably aware of this, but there is a decal on your rod that will tell you what weight baits will work best.

crossover Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm definitely getting more mepps spinners. I caught one a few days ago on a #3, but felt that it was too light to cast out far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 length in millimetres. centimetres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Have to agree with garry. Check the lure weight on the rod(s)and match it up. If you go heavier than stated you will actually lose distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossover Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 1/8 - 1/2 oz, meaning any size will do. Will probably go for a couple of 12s and 14s (I'm buying online since cheaper, don't have a car lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Adult pike regularly eat baitfish the size of a shoe. Any size will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 centimetres? Yes Centimetres...sorry, I'm an old throw back to Imperial measurement and I'm easily confused by all these foreign words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
