I've just done my first pike pattern and I'm debating which tail would be best. Take a look and let me know which one you like best. The first is a light green/white, the second is a flo red, and the last is pearl.

I think they all look good and would work. I like the pearl and the flo red best.

They all suck ! ( Just Kidding Bud ! )

Actually- I think the first one will have a better visual effect in the water. The pearl looks great, but I'm not sure how it will reflect once in water.

I like the first one.

Good Lawd, I hope that's not Bubba!
Red / orange works best around here but we don't have many pike. m

Pearl looks great but the other two may provide more flash and contrast.

Definitely the pearl, and then repaint the bait to match.

I don't like green.

Orange...

High contrast boys...

Orange tails get smoked...

Just look at black and orange bulldawgs, hot tail walleye dawgs, etc...

Orange, orange, orange...

Orange is going to be the best choice because it has the most contrast, red would be better as far as contrast but people argue that fish cannot see red. With the risk of sounding gay I think Pink or purple would be a good color to mix with the green as well. But for the natural look it has got to be the pearl.(I never liked the natural look)

Northerns have orange in their fins, so I'd use the orange. Besides orange produces for me bigtime.

I think you should do both the pearl and flo red versions.

For a natural look the first tail by far but as Hulbert said (and I agree with) contrast is often the way to go. Nice job on them all though.

I like the red. Most muskie lures have at least a small amount of red. I guess time will tell, try 'em all.
