Hair Jigs work great for northern pike. The smaller hair jigs that are often used for crappie and perch will catch northern pike, but if you’re looking to get some action and have a shot at catching some larger fish, you will want to buy hair jigs that are a little larger.
If you are shopping in a retail store, they may not have the larger hair jigs, so we recommend searching online to find some hair jigs that are perfect for the type of fishing you will be doing. You can fish these jigs shallow, deep and anywhere in between. Some anglers do very well by tipping these jigs with a lively minnow as well.
