hooks for pike
muskyman30:
i no this is a ice fihing site but i have question about open water pike fishing. i was wondering what size hooks you guys use for live bait fishing. thanks
AlgaeKilla:
It really depends on the size to the bait. On a quick strike rig I use treble hook just a little bigger than you'd find on a bass crankbait with a six inch shiner. Bring wire cutters and maybe jaw spreaders if you plan on releasing them.

My favorite bait for pike would have to be the biggest shiners I can get my hands on. Sometimes 10"+. Big bait=Big fish.........That is what I believe most of the time.

i tryed circle hooks this year on pike and they worked out pretty good. hook the minno thru the lips and you should be in buisiness. i think it was a 1/0hook

I've used circle & quick strike rigs succesfully. Some don't like the cirlce hooks, but I havent had any problems.
