Old Ironmaker Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 30 years ago there was 1 bait for spring Pike, OK maybe 2, Eppinger Red Devil and 5 of diamonds, 4" in the spring and 4" in the fall. Anyone old enough here to remember? We also used dead smelts back then, I think they are against regs now . Going for pike in upper NY state in a few weeks, wanted to bring a few up to show the kids that have 4 trays of pike bait and went to CTC and they didn't have 1 Red Devil available. As for size, match the hatch. As for 12"snot rocket hammer handles hitting 10" bait, it's not feeding it's killing. They are practicing up to be big Pike. That's my non biology degree opinion.

Rich Nelson Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Maybe I'll try one of the idependent bait shops for one of those this week.So it comes in other colors as well? Comes in several different natural colors. Blue, green, brown, silvers, and ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Len Thomson five-o-diamonds has been one of my most productive lures for pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
