I use a live decoy, plastic, and now a wooden one. My brother bought me the wooden one for Christmas. I only got to use it once, and the fish weren't real active when I used, so I have no comment for now on the wooden one. My preferred decoy is a live one.
A always use whatever Whatpole has along and I`ve seen Northerns come in and totally ignore the live minnows and go straight for the red and white plastic decoy.{darkhousefisher dubbed it Willie the Redheaded stranger}Also crushed egg shells help improve light on dark days or murky water and add highlite to the bottom of the hole.(Image removed from quote.)
wow thats a cool pic! This spearing thing looks cool got any videos of spearing?
Othertimes they attack both equally.
Try using a live sucker under the fake. The Live decoy swimming around will make the fake swim also. You also cover 2 differnet depths! I sometimes use the golf ball trick as an attractant. Got several nice pike off the spinning golf ball
Same here, I go with live but I do own some Fake and I just cant seem to change because the live seems to work fine. But you never know maybe the Fake works better and I'm just to stuburn to give it a try . I like the biggest one I can find witch is usually 11" to 13", I dont like them 8"ers
