Hi, hope this helps but there are a few key differences with pike and bass first of all if you a fishing in a river they can be quite easy to locate try to find an area close to a medium to fast current and look for a weed line or rock points as they mainly ambush but they grow more different then bass as they grow a big pike in a river will be around where walleye or perch are as they will eat those (good lure colours) also if there is a small bay in the river fish the outside of those. For lakes target the bays as well (much easier with a boat) one of the biggest key things I have found is try to find an area where pike dominate bass like the bays and ambush points. The gear should be from a medium to heavy bait cast rod and a reel spooled with 40-100 lbs braid and a wire leader for lures try a 7/8 oz Rapala clackin rap a dare devil spoon or a 2 oz rapala x-rap subwalk also mainly look for lues that are either Red, Green, Orange, Blue, or Chrome. Also be sure to watch your hands had one give me 9 stitches. good luck fishin
