Try retrieving faster and keep your rod tip high. Smaller/lighter spoons may help as well :)

Thanks, I might be pausing too long and letting it hit the bottom

different styles will spoons run at different depth for a given retrieve. canoe spoons,run shallow . mepps cyclops, run mid depth. compared to a crocodile spoon. I also use a longer rod for most spoon fishing. crank up the lb test line, I have 30 lb power pro on the new mitchell ,lots use 50lb for pike. hope that helps.
