Hi, new to pike fishing and haven't been too successful. I read the many posts on the different terminal rigs for pike. I have taken the recommendations and used the ideas to make two rigs that I would like to try out. Would appreciate your feedback to these two rigs.
Rig #1 - black tip up line to a snap swivel. On the black line I have put a small split shot, red bead, silver spoon, red bead, silver spoon, red bead. The bead, spoon combination is stopped by the swivel. From here I attached an 18 inch black leader followed by a quick strike rig or #8 treble hook.
Rig #2 -black tip up line to a barrel swivel. On the black line I used the same red bead and silver spoon combo I mentioned on rig #1. I then attached a 3 foot piece of 40 lb. seaguar fluoro followed by a quick stike rig or #8 treble. I thought that because I would usually be fishing above weeds in shallow water the light coming down the hole may reflect off the spoons attracting the pike to area. Thoughts, suggestions on these two rigs. Does your fluoro coil giving a weird presentation? Thank you
