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.

I DON'T FISH MUCH WITH LIVE BAIT BUT I USE DEAD SMELT. FOR HOOKS I LIKE TO USE A DOUBLE TREBLE SETUP WITH THE TREBLES ABOUT A SIZE TWO. HOOK ONE THROUGH THE HEAR OR LIPS AND ONE THROUGH THE DORSAL. WORKS GOOD FOR DEAD BAIT.

5/0 gammi live bait hook is a beautifuL thing for 6 to 8"baits in my book. big gap but not to heavy and i must say there steep but you wont find a sharper hook out of the pack these babies will stick you if you look at em wrong!!ZOOM

if you want a sharper hook than a gamie fish owner or diachi, i use octopus style only problem is once and a while they turn back into the bait

I am completely new to the site here, but I have a question if anyone can be so kind as to help me out.
I am trying to find a place online to order some large smelt hooks and have hit a dead end. I am trying to find the kind that look kinda like 3/4 of a triangle (does this description make any sense ) Thank you for your help.

Not enough ice or time... not necessarily in that order.

For hooks on open water and ice fishing I use Gamakatsu #2 trebles. On larger bait I add a quick strike rig in size #4 or #2.
