CHECK THIS RIG OUT....GET THOSE PIKE NOW!
PIKE FISHING RIG - COOL!

Photo Taken from a U.K. Site....very much like our pike rig used here locally!

We use a LARGE WOODEN BOBBER with an EXTRA LARGE SHINER. Laser-sharp hook (#2/weedless if available for weed pitches). Only use a NEW HOOK, IT MUST BE SHARP!

USE FIRELINE or ANY OTHER STRONG BRAIDED LINE. DO NOT USE STANDARD MONO LINE. THEY WILL BITE RIGHT OFF. IF YOU MUST, ATTACH A 6" 10-20lb STEEL LEADER. ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU ARE NEAR YOUR ROD. FIGHT THEM RIGHT AWAY, SINCE THEY CAN ALSO SNIP THROUGH THE BRAIDED LINE AFTER A WHILE AS WELL.

FISH A BEAVER

Field & Stream
An Expert Guide to the Latest Techniques
in Bass Fishing

The Sweet Beaver, a quirky soft-plastic creation from Reaction Innovations, is the hottest soft plastic on the pro circuit. Is it a tube bait? A grub? A creature? A craw? It's totally unique, says California pro Ish Monroe. I love the Sweet Beaver in murky conditions because it moves so much water, making it easy for bass to find. To flip the Beaver into brush or grass, he Texas-rigs it with a -ounce tungsten sinker and a 3/0 offset worm hook. The compact critter sinks into the strike zone quickly, its multiple tail appendages flapping and pulsating like the pincers of an angry crawdad. Monroe then lifts and drops it repeatedly.
