    Is there anybody who tips their spoons when fishing for pike? Usually when fishing for pike, i use a 2/5oz-3/4oz Little Cleo, but i tip it with a 3" Chartruese grub and the grub seems really good to use because its action causes a spoon to look more erratic in its action in the water.
    Walleye. SCREAMIN DRAGS TO ALL!!!

    I have tipped them in summer/ fall when pike want a big profile bait.  Don't just try the grubs try a 6 inch ribbon tail worm too. White seems to be a good choice ( for me and the pike to see better)  but each area maybe different. Also I like the floating worms because they keep the up bait a bit in the water less chance of snagging up on cover when using the 3/4 to 11/4 oz spoons. Nothing stinks worse then having to go into a area to get a bait back and spook the fish you were after.

    Yeah a grub or ribbon tail flutters nicely on the fall which induces strikes for me. Also you can swim the spoon when they are more aggressive giving it more action on the swim and the pause as it falls. A 4" paddletail swimbait works great also for swimming a spoon. The spoon gives it better side to side action on the swim and the swimbait gives it a bigger profile and tail action.
