Gotta be a yank? I had a few of them Storm mini pike lures,only caught tree`s and bushes with it tho. Best lure I had was a pink and blue Abu lure looked like a camp disco minnow,found it,had several medium jacks on it,from a few different lakes and a river. Took it back to where I found it,and got snapped off by a really massive... tree,before I bothered to remember the name of it..

yeah i have herd a lot of great reports about the lamprey lately, i have never used it yet but do plan to give it a shot this winter.

supposed to be full of blood and when they thaw in the water the pike apparently goes mad for the scent.

Poacher3161 are they SARDINES? the BASTARRDS things never stay on long enough for me how do you keep them on

 

Could be wrong mate but I`d of said they were spratts? Whats the difference? A little bit of bait elastic round the tail trebel works for me,but Im not really a pike angler

No mate their sprats.I use a uni rig trace with a single hook and the treble a couple of inch down from it putting the single hook through the base of the tail if casting a long way i have used baite elastic.I have found them a bit tougher than sardines as well:thumbs:
