luremaker Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I am looking for some input on some color patterns that have worked for trolling spoons for northern pike, I had some one ask me the other day if I could paint some spoons for trolling for pike, I told them that I don't normally spray pike spoons ,but I would ask around if anyone has any good patterns and colors that work for them. I know they would be using them in the U.P. So if any one has any info I would love to hear it. I know red and white are always good and I have heard yellow and red can also be a hot color also. but from there I am lost.Thanks Luremaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I have always like the brass lures with some sorta of red on it for pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITM Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Perch pattern, red & white daredevil, black & white daredevil, yellow/black 5 of diamonds, yellow/red 5 of diamonds, firetiger. Daredevil used to make a "hammered look" paint, all one color and that's very good in gold or bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugs Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I have found Perch patterns are good as well. Have had some good luck with a Smithwick with a white belly when nothing else seemed to work, so a white back to a spoon might be something to think about.Other than that, black and yellow drives them crazy at times!

joelsanders Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 copper and black is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 A hammered gold or copper blank with, like mentioned, black stripe, firetiger, or orange/black. A buddy's favorite spoon was gold/orange/black spots. Especially if the water has some color to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
