Northern Pike on Pickerel Lake absolutely love X-Raps. I’ve tried other jerkbaits, but X-Raps are simply unbeatable. Twitching an X-Rap over a weed bed is an excellent way to get pike!

At Pickerel lake, ned rigs are superb in reeds, especially at spawn time for smallmouth. Try out any of these ned colors that I recommended, especially for Pickerel lake, you won’t be disappointed!

I caught this one casting out a little crappie grub and slowly bringing it back to the boat. These grubs are great for big bluegill!
