ultimate pike lure
Hi folks, im new to the forum, i have been reading it for a couple of weeks & really enjoying the stories & wealth of information on all the good spots & techniques. I thought i would share a really hot lure that i have been having incredible luck on for pike, its the storm wildeye live swimbait in the walleye pattern 3 or 5 inch. Remove the bottom treble hook as this really improves the action & keeps the weeds off, cast er out, retrieve slow & steady & hang on. Was @ rattlesnake res on friday & could not keep them off, must have caught & released @ least 20 intil the 6 wildeyes i had were thrashed & tail-less, good luck & tight lines
P.S sorry if i revealed anyones secret |
soft plastics are really starting to get their niche; the new hollow bodies are great too - you can rig them weedless and have a ton of fun in the shallows!
good to hear you had a great day cheers |
I use those big storm swimbaits with single hook on the back. They save the day almost every time. Great lure(wholesale had a sale while ago and i picked them clean, redhead, rainbow, and something else, redhead definitely kicks butt)
|
i found some of the pike look alike sot baits and they were hammering them, till the rocks stole them all, gotta pick some mroe up if i can find them on sale somewhere...
|
I had a Rapla that I lost a fighty with,a few weeks back with an old pike . Red head with white body. Been to four major fishing stores already and can't find anything to relace it with ,other than a red jig head with white rubber tail .
Might have the brand mistaken with . IF anyone has one in there tackle box hold on to it ....it works ! |
Just found it on the Ralpa site.
Just have to find it in a store ! But what store ? http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...acker/hook.jpg |

From what I heard fishing was OK but not much for size..... |
biggest 1 was about 6 pounds but did have some monsters follow up right to the side of the boat & have a look, tried the old figure 8 with the rod tip but they would just slowly cruise away. I have been having some killer luck on rattlesnake this year for pike , only 1 walleye though, sopposed to be some good ones in there but i cant find them. As for spots im fishing mostly at the islands right at the begining of the main basin by the collony, just after the narrows, fish strictly out of a kayak so i can get into some real shallow un-pressured spots
|
Before I sold the boat I used to fish Snake pretty hard and I never had any consistent luck with the eyes.
Everybody says they are there but gettin onto them is another story. |
those storms work great used them all last year, but the ones i think work even better are the slurpies brand, same set up without the bottom treb, work slick, can't keep the pike off..cheers:)
|
almost all the eyes i catch come out of the good old south sask river, no good for eating but have caught some real footballs as we call em:lol:every fall, love the river
|
Just started fishing the NSR for Walleye. Any tips for getting those "footballs?"
|
I wonder if you can troll the Storm Wildeye?? Anyone with experience trolling them.

shhhhhh. no wonder they are almost always sold out now! got 11 pike Friday on them, from 4 to 11 1/2 pounds. I have 22 of them hanging on the wall with no tails now, and for the non believers I will take a pic of them and post it . they need a stinger hook im My opinion.
|
Wayne there is a way to get a stinger hook set up behind the tail, take a large eyed needle<one big enough to fit your line> stick it through the middle of the tail, and run that up to the middle hook attachment, tie it on and then pull it tight through the bottom then attach a hook there, best to remove the treble if they have them though...

Anyone else hit walleye on them? |
Ive caught walleye on them out of the north sask. I dont think they work a whole lot better than a regular jig myself. Find an eddy and cast your hook right over it and into the fast water and just let the current swing it back around into the eddy on a tight line. then either jig it back upstream or drag it allong the bottom depending on the day. I never use a pickerel rig and still get my share of walleye. For trolling jigs or wild eyes troll slowly with the curent and hop the lure along the bottom. If your going upstream use a plug.

I can't even count how many walleye and sturgeon we caught last Sept/Oct........ And we use the same tactics,though with the sturgeon the pickerel rig is a weak point!! |

The STORM WildEye Swim Bait Shad in 4" length is absolutely the ticket for pike!!
The large single hook is great! |
