Hey Guys
Was out last Saturday on the Ottawa and we got into some really nice pike action. Caught them on suspended large dead (kinda rotting) shiners(7") and an a couple of different jigging lures. We kept a couple for the table and when cleaning them found both pike were full of sunfish (3 in one and 4 in the other). Are there any jigging lures on the market that resemble sunfish. I know we did well with what we were using but thought it might be cool me use something that resembles what they are eating.
Thanks
Ted

If you have your heart set on using soft plastics to jig, check out Storm soft plastics. I use the shads for vertical jigging big pike on softwater, don;t see why they wouldnt work on the ice. They have a quite a few bluegill/pumpkinseed patterns too, not sure if any of them don't have a lip though.
