Good to hear, so guess I'll pickup some of the garlic or shad later incase they prefer something else one day.

Picked up a bottle of Yum Crawfish spray scent today. I was wanting the Yamamoto Mega strike but they didn't have any. My question is will putting a crawfish scent on a senko make fish hesitant to bite it being its a crawfish smell on a stick bait?

Cavitrons are great, I just got mine about 2 weeks ago. First two casts into the water with a black w/red blade I got two hits. I missed the fish as it was my first time out with my baitcaster setup and wasn't quite use to it yet. Between me a friend we caught 10 large mouth bass with Cavitrons the first time out with them. Even had a pike on but he managed to get off. Black with red blade and white with red blade seems to work the best.

Samsung.

Black Dog Tail Wagger - I like the looks of this, anyone use it? Too bad its one of the more expensive ones.

Nice work. Post pics if you get anymore with it.

Thanks everyone, I will check into the boga grip and the cradle.

Haha, yeah I suppose that is the easiest way. Me and a friend were out fishing earlier today and he actually had a pike bite on. He was using a small black/gold deep diving Rapala while trolling over to the edge of an island to fish when he got the bite. Fish fought pretty good for a small one, only 24". Good thing I got a little info on how to take care of these fish first though, my friend was getting a bit close to the teeth and gills.

Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah, teeth and gill rakers are what I fear most. I've never had to deal with one yet but I have a friend that fishes the exact same worms and what not as me and runs into them quite heavy at times.

I searched on the forum and didn't find anything covering this yet so if its been posted already sorry for the duplicate. Ok I live in Michigan and alot of times around here when fishing with Senkos, Sweet Beavers or Flappin Hogs you can run across pike that will grab you bait. Knowing this I was looking for some info on how to safely handle a pike incase I come across one so the fish nor me happen to get any injuries from the whole deal. Thanks.
