This is off topic, but what do you use to transport your rods around. Im in need of something to for that purpose
When I chuck lures these days they're usually Squirrlies, spinnerbaits or Jackpots, or a twitching minnow/crank.

You'll need a good head for heights though, and have to be good at climbing trees.
Its been there for 3 years, so the hooks might need changing

Abu Atom spoon because I caught 14 pike on one in about 2 hours in the 80s and it’s still my banker lure.

Re: What is your favourite lure and why?
Hi, my first season Pike Fishing and generally I have done really well. Had 3 blanks over the winter but last weekend had 6 fish to 15lb and 5 the next day. The three most successful lures have been Mega S, SG Da'bush 42g and Westin Shad Teez 19cm. Only trying to catch larger pike and unsurpringly have had few small jacks. Did foul hook a perch that was smaller than my lure, but I guess that does'nt count. Cheers

Re: What is your favourite lure and why?
Shakespearse Midi S in silver. Catches many a pike and perch.
But my all time favourite lure is a custom painted Mark Houghton lure.

Magna Strike 9” Grandma, if I ever encounter a 40lb+ it would be the icing on the cake if it put teeth marks on one of these. Best fish to date on one, 17lb live in hope that’s what I say.

If I had to pick five (which is hard to do!) I’d have to say:
Weighted Squirrely Burt
Slow fall Bassharasser
Buster Jerk
Papa Doc spoon
Westin Shad Teez 16cm

Re: What is your favourite lure and why?
Not an easy question to answer. Water temp, water clarity and depth play a huge factor. Also of you are casting or trolling.
Something wirh a paddle tail are always good for either casting or trolling. Savage gear 3D are probably my favourite, or fox replicant. Loads of other manufacturers make very similar lures, they all catch pike. I like these lures in cold water too as they can have a slower retrieve.
When it comes to jerk baits, the salmo slider will always be the first I'll try. Buster jerk and jerkster are great lures too.
Flies are often over looked, as in files for spinning rods. I've had some big pike on them over the years.
Spoons and spinners will all catch pike too, although I do find they tend to attract more jacks where I fish.

80lb power pro and a good rod capable of casting these large rubbers
they have a big paddle tail they just have the right amount of movement and they just keep on catching
as regards to colours i like the translucent pattern and the green one they did and done a few on the fire tiger pattern .
i dont think its the colour really , its the big paddle that does the magic ......
