Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Fly Fishing & Other Fish Species good lures for NP?

I'm jealous amigo - have fun! I've had a lot of luck fishing trophy NP with the following tackle - for smaller NP you might want to simply downsize - small pike seem to love lots of flash and vibration. Pinch your barbs on trebles so its not such a fiasco trying to get them into your livewell - just keep a very tight line:

1/2 - 1 oz spinnerbaits and buzzbaits in the vegetation - plastic trailer and hook doubles hook up ratio

Big Plastics - flukes ect. rigged weedless for sliding through vegetation

3 1/2 or 6" Rapala SubWalk over emergent weed beds [my favorite]

Big Rattletraps, big Spoons, Rapala X Rap or Husky Jerks for trolling or open water casting. The X Rap is great for suspended fish off points

When all else fails, 1/4 oz jighead and GULP seems to catch as many of my big NP while I'm walleye fishing than anything else - just be sure to use titanium leaders or you'll be retying all day!
