Using a Spoon to get the Fish's Attention?

[Riffer]

I read in an outdoor magazine today that some people will tie a spoon without a hook on there line above the jig to get the fish's attention for small fish like perch, I was woundering would this work for pike?

I added a spinner spoon like on a walleye crawler harness on my quick strike rigs. I bought the removeable clip so I can change colors or remove the blade completely. I've had good success with this setup.

Sometimes before putting a tip up down, I will jig a dodger for a few times for some flash.  I don't know if it helps or not but it gets the dust off of them in the winter.  I have done red/white spoons with out hooks, for spearing and their have been many days where they were my top producer.

my largest bass and pickerel through the ice have come on quick strike rigs with a spinner on top. sometimes when i'm checking bait, i like to throw a sweedish pimple down there jig it a little to get the fish in the area's attention then rebait

I ussually put a spoon on my quick strike rigs 2-3 inches above the bait.

Almost every one of my tipups has a spoon on it for flash & weight. I started doing it a long time ago & it does make a difference for me.

i usually set my tip up depth and then pull the tip up line out of the hole, still set and everything. Then i take the biggest len thompson spoon and put it down and jig it like 5 times, spoon comes out tip up line goes down. flags usually come within 5 minutes

I have jigged a swedish pimple next to my tip-ups while perch fishing on Sebago. Seemed to be working.
