Daredevle vs Johnson silver minnow

[Big fat pike]

Have you guys done better for pike with a daredevle or Johnson silver minnow and for the minnow with or without a trailer and with a trailer like a curly tail grub how do you rig them as I have seen several different ways

Both of those spoons catch fish but I suggest the 4” red eye wiggler. Nickel.gold,and 5 of diamonds are best for me. And the fish don’t care when the eyes get bit out which they will.

I myself never had much luck with either one. But my father always did well with the johnson and porkrind trailer. Me...a top water red&white.

I have only had luck with the daredevle

We used to take tons of daredevils up to Canadian outpost pike lakes n do outstanding. Johnson silver minnows didnt do half as well for us plus I trust a treble hook on the daredevil many times more than a plated single hook that was hard for us to sharpen on the johnsons.


#1 lure of 4 Musky Inc National Champions in last 3 years.

Treble doesn’t matter pike love daredevles more then bass like senkos and if the hook is good it will get hooked

We used to fish the St Lawrence for pike . 

 

Our best was a red and white 1 oz daredevil . Followed by a Mepps Cyclops for spoons . They were heavy and got down to the 15 to 20 ft depths we fished .
