When this happens to me, I rig up my hooks with stingers, but I don't use the factory made ones when pike fishing. I take a small treble hook + attach it to my hook, using snare wire (unbiteable). Have the treble the distance from your hook as the length of the bait being used. Have the head of your bait on the hook + the treble thru the tail. Soon as you get a hit, you can set the hook.
