Bait Lures
What is a good setup and what lures/bait do I use for pike minnow fishing?
Smaller Abu Garcia, Shimano, or Daiwa reel that holds about 100 – 120 yards of 6 LB line. Abu’s “cardinal” 100 series are fine reels and the best size for pike minnows would be model C101I-C. Nothing expensive for them. A reel anywhere from $20 – $40 would work fine. Also check out Bass Pro Shops “Megacast” spinning reels MC10FE would be the best model for pike minnows, and they’re only $20 per reel.
A light action rod that is able to handle 4 – 8 LB line or something similar would work great. Longer rods would be more fun but shorter rods are best when fishing small creeks for them. Cabela’s Whuppin’ Stick rods are great rods, $25 per rod I believe, the 5′6″ Light action Whuppin’ Stick would do great, it’s rated for 4 – 10 LB line. The rods’ model number is WSSL 56-2.
6 LB Trilene XL is the cheapest mono you can find that has extremely low-memory. I use it in 4 LB on my ultra-light reels for bluegill & crappie. I’ve caught several crappie up to about 12″ or 13″ on it and it’s did great.
That’s the absolute BEST for them, $20 reel, $25 rod, $3 line. But I don’t even think I’d pay that much for a rod/reel combo if I didn’t fish for pike minnows a lot. You can easily get by fishing for them with any light action rod/reel spinning combo from zebco or shakespeare.
