Bright colors in clear water for pike.

With pike i find if they're on the bite not much will scare them away. They only really see contrast anyway, I've caught em on j-13 and h-11 rapalla, colour not making a world of difference. I personally find colour makes a difference for finicky fish like trout, and in muddy conditions. Perhaps you can try not using as bright colours, more natural, under different lighting conditions on your pond and you will find yourself more successful? My rule of thumb is if lake is muddy go bright to natural, if lake is clear go natural to bright. Snap swivels are a god send

You may be onto something. Is there perch in your lake? How's the bite on silver spoons? Colourful spoons? I have heard before that pike like the bright colours too but I prefer to go natural if i can and I haven't been less successful than the average guy using Colourful I'd say. When it comes down to it the specific system and climate will dictate what they like most.

That's probably why they like the brighter colours. Try spoons for fun for an hour, try silver pure first, then try silver with perch type colours. May not notice much of a difference if you have shiners in the lake too, but if perch population is big, and pike love perch, then just mimic those colours imo
