As for "Normal", I'm often throwing striper plugs and saltwater jigging lures using light surf fishing tackle... in the big wide world of pike fishing I would say that my own gear/ methods are more offbeat and experimental than your own. I've never been shy about experimentation, I just think that the localy favored casting spoons are too usefull and versitile of a tool to ignore.
We will never agree on the value of a spoon for pike. I know they work and gave them their time but still a low on the list lure for me.

They stay in my trout/char gear

As for experimenting with lures well I am only limited by my imagination
