Pike Spinner Buying Guide

If you’re looking for the perfect spinner for pike fishing, there are a few different things you will want to consider

Size
Color

Style
Other Features

Size

One of the most important things will be to make sure you choose an appropriate size for the pike you are fishing. Since pike are larger fish, you generally you want a larger spinner. Stick with ones that around 1/2 ounce or above.

Color

Color can also be an important factor to consider when making your decision. We are fans of bright vibrant colors. Yellow, orange, white, or chartreuse are all good choices. Large colorful skirts tend to work well for pike.

Style

As long as you’re spinner is large enough to handle pike, the style shouldn’t be as big of an issue. Whether you want a traditional style spinner with a large skirt or a dressed bucktail spinner, this comes down to a matter of preference.

Other Features

Some spinners you will come across have additional features that you will have to consider if you want them on your lure. Some of the ones we’ve covered in this list have a double-bladed design, while others have two sets of hooks. Some have single hooks whereas others have treble hooks. If you’re new to fishing we always recommend anglers try a variety of lures until they start to hone in on what they like in a lure. You never know until you try.
