Location: Illinois | For pike Rapalas and Rattlin Rogues work as does a Jig and plastic. Go with the floating models on the minnow baits. Keep your head on a swivel. |

| We do pretty well on the small double blades sims inlines or most double willow spinners. Minnow baits work well but we tend to throw baits like the 1.5 or 2.5 KVD square bills as they tend to get snagged less. If you use minute baits use floaters instead of suspending so you have a better chance of saving your baits. I run a17' mod v the entire length of the river and normally float the boat perpendicular to the current and drag some floats with bluegill unless we are targeting structure. |
