Pike Plastics

[Radio]

Does anybody have suggestions for SUPER soft paddle tail style swim baits... wanted for fishing weedless... thanks in advance!

[smerchly]

I have had some luck catching pike on various swim baits . I have pulled them through some weeds and they still hit the bait .

When weeds were heavier  I tied a treble hook about 12" in front of the swim bait to catch weeds to keep the swim bait going longer without weeds.

Some of my old Slurpies worked well for pike , they are weighted and will sit flat on the bottom with the hook up (less snags)

Most of mine are similar to these.......

Any big white plastic swim baits/finesse minnows/Mr twisters

I've used lots over the years... just seeing if anybody knows a specific brand of especially soft plastic for running weedless so the hook can be barried deep but then easily pierce through for hook ups... most of the plastics are relatively hard. I remember Charlie Wray promoting some really soft plastics but I can't seem to be able to track down that specific episode

They aren’t paddle tail but Berkley caffein Shad’s are very soft and you can hook them weedless. Caught many pike on them.  similar to a zoom fluke but softer.

I use a Texas rig with either yum money minnow or large keitech swimbait, I use mostly use white, pink

or natural colours
