| Thread maybe run out but here's what works for me on Pike. Suicks are Pike magnets, and it keeps the little guys away for the most part. My son fishes with me for only one week a year and he only throws one thing, a black, wood Suick, non-weighted. Runs it anywhere there's a reed bed or cabbage. He catches more than 50 mid-30s Pike during a week while I keep trying new things in the boat.
Now, for the big ones, I ran across a pattern this Spring that produced multiple 40"+ Pike. Find the suspended walleye. If you can find a large school of these, there's likely a big Pike or 2 in the neighborhood. Then, Bulldawg. Brought in 9 >38" Pike on this pattern during the same week, one was 43" and about 25 lbs - FAT. The bonus to this pattern is you can get dinner first and then depth charge those big Pike. No small fish on a Bull Dawg . For the Illinois guys - don't know how you find the walleye but interested to know that trick!
