Your favorite Pike lures ?

I have not targeted Pike in years but use to and was thinking about giving it a go before the Stripers get here.
I used to do well with the following ...
 
-Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon
-Large White Spinnerbaits
-Big Musky In-line Spinners
 
 
... what Pike lure do you like ?

    when i fish lake champlain, i can bring one lure and catch pike all day.
    that's the mepps black fury spinner (black and yellow). that lure works like magic for me up there.
    but when i fished lake lonely last year i didn't get one fish on it.
    even still, that's my favorite.

    Yellow "Five of Diamonds" spoon...  Big one...  That's my favorite.  It's been killing 'em for decades.
     
    Second would be the big Mepps spinners- even the "Muskie Killer" Mepps get fish up north...

    I love a surface strike. While I will use Redeye Wigglers, Daredevils, Spinners with willow leaf blades, Swim baits and Cranks, depending on conditions, I have to go with a Prop bait or always reliable jointed Rapala. This is a Prop bait after about 6 hours on Lake Lonely last June, was new out of the box. Took several pike and a 5lbs. bass that day. Sorry bout pic quality but you can still see the wear it got.

    Have to say early spring Rapala's floating J-11 or the bigger x raps.

    Does anyone have a date when they will start dredging the upper Hudson??
    Second is anyone aware if this will effect fishing below the Dam. Or will it affect the stripper run



    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat!

    Rattle traps, particularly  fire tiger always worked well when we fished for Pike in Canada. Also, a spoon called "The Williams Warbler" was very productive.
