I can't help but notice the lures I take to Canada can get really chewed up by pike & walleye. I quit taking older wooden lures because of the damage & the plastic lures have teeth marks & scratches all over them. Do you guys that fish everyday in water with those species notice the damage to your lures? I've even noticed the soft plastics on a jig head really take a beating. Good luck & tight lines.
Yeah bc,pike are the Bluefish of freshwater. I had one on a spinnerbait,and while bringing him to the boat,another one ripped the willowleaf blade off,trying to get what the other one was eating! In saltwater Bluefish are the same way. Tore up a lot of Rapala Magnums.
