Ok…so I understand being skeptical of fishing lures and their capabilities. I have had many comments and emails on my post “Top 5 Canadian Pike Lures” from people who either cannot believe that I would fish for Pike with these wimpy lures or cannot believe that their favorite lures are not included I understand that we all have our favorites and ask my readers to keep in mind that these are just my favorites and I am not trying to discount your favorites.

As a matter of fact, I ask that you all comment and give me your favorite Pike lures. I would love to hear what works for you all or what you have caught your biggest Pike on. I would actually like to try them out. So please comment and let me know what your favorites are

I got a number of requests for the picture of the Cabelas Generic that is # 2 on my list. I have decided to post it here today as a special treat for my readers. Please remember that this lure is discontinued and therefore must be handpainted to be replicated.

This is the original Cabelas Generic Lure. As you can see, they have both been used and have quite a few bite marks…on many trips the Generic and the Hammer come back with no paint at all.

I stole this one from my husbands tackle box for this photo…I hope I am not fighting a divorce tomorrow…LOL!!! As many of you know, he refused to give me one of these lures even as a wedding present!!

This is the Generic that I handpainted using the red and white Cabelas Canadian Casting Spoon. It looks much like the original and moves

the same way. It can be a frustrating process however to paint one of these on your own. I enjoy lure painting though and always

paint a few lures before each trip!! You just never know what is gonna be the hot lure for those PIKE!!

This is the famed “Orange Hammer”. I am posting this picture to show those skeptics who cannot believe this lure is great just how great it is. I know it does not make sense why Pike love it but, as you can tell from the lack of paint on the lure, they LOVE IT!!!

So there it is…a family secret that I may get into BIG trouble for telling…but oh well!!!! See there…I am willing to risk divorce for my readers!!

Please keep checking back soon ~ I intend to run a contest soon and maybe you will be the one to win one of these famed “Generic” Pike Lures!!!

Happy Fishing and Happy Lure Making ~
