#9 Jigging Raps
2-3/4" Lindy Darters
#5 &/or #6 Salmo Chubby Darters
1oz Airplane Jigs
Rapala Rippin Raps &/or Clackin Raps in size 6
2-1/2" Live Forage Rippin Shads
1/2oz LiveTarget Golden Shiner (personal fav)
Tube Jigs
Large Spoons
Swimbait w/ Jighead

I have had great luck with lipless cranks.  If they don't hit a crank, usually I can call them in with it.  Then I pick up my other rod rigged with something else, and get them to hit that, or a tipup that is right there.  The colors I use are usually natural forage colors b/c the water I fish is clear.  If the water is stained or I am in deep water I will go with your typical bright pike patterns (hot orange, firetiger, chartreuse etc)  I use gold a lot too.

Bucktail Jig .... Orange head with white hair.  Can be tipped with a minnow or jigged aggressively on its own.
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

I caught many pike jigging, even when targeting other fish,
Ive had the best luck with small spoons and a piece of minnow, or minnow head. you name Ive had pike hit it.
