DId that on Newell few years back, took out innards and salted them so they don't fall apart later on. Guy next to me was using big smells and I beat him 5:1 within 3 hours of fishing. They give a lot of flash and seep oil which seems to take away any reluctance by pike. When pike see it they just want to eat it.
My dad uses light gear when fishing for these critters, and he's had quite a few pike eat his catch right in front of him, just before landing it.
I'm surprised Wayne hasn'T tried em for bait.
