For shallow water early spring pike, get a Cotton Cordell Ripplin Redfin. You want the one that is floating, but the sinking one works great as well.
This crankbait has the unique action that it dives down when pulled hard, then when stopped, it slowly starts to float and turns sideways.
You can actually see pike start to wind up like a spring as the plug starts to turn sideways and starts to rise up. Big Pike LOVE hitting like a freight train on these things, and it is pretty fun to watch the strike over and over again.
But tried and true Len Thompson yellow five of diamonds with red, or the old red devil reverse (white red white) are pretty hard to beat.
