Underspins are one of the best ways to rig soft plastic swimming-style baits for northern pike. Whether you use swimbaits, curly tail grubs, ringworms or other baits, just make sure you’re rigging these with baits that have some type of swimming style action on them and you’ll get plenty of bites from northern pike. Use the lighter jigheads for fishing around the shallows and around weeds. Go heavier when fishing deeper water and you can connect with some big pike. Underspins are one of the better action baits for catching northern pike.
Underspins & Swimbaits
Smaller swimbaits work great on an underspin. These are great action baits and if you upsize the swimbaits, you can catch some very big pike too.
Underspins & Curly Tail Grubs
Adding a curly tail grub is one of the better ways to fish for pike if you’re looking for action. Use a 4 or 5 inch grub in a baitfish color and you will catch plenty of pike.
Underspins & Curly Tail Worms
Some of the smaller curly tail worms will also work great on an underspin. The baitfish colored worms tend to work better.
Underspins & Ringworms
Ringworms are the perfect size for action. With an underspin, you’re going to catch a lot of northern pike, however, you’re going to catch a lot of smaller pike with some occasional bigger fish mixed in.
