Rods: 6’-7’ Medium-heavy action spinning for baitcasting rods.
Reels: Medium – heavy spinning reels (15-20 lbs. test line) and casting reels (17-20 lbs. test)
Lures: Northern pike will hit a variety of lures such as Rapalas, Doctor Spoons, Dare Devils, Five-O-Diamonds, bass spinnerbaits, Johnson Silver Minnow, #3#5Mepps Spinners, Suick “jerk baits”, top-water plugs, Sluggo type worms, etc.
