The
Rapala X-Rap Xtreme Action Slashbait
worked great for me. I was fishing on a cold Wisconsin day (about 30 degrees).
The tip of my rod had ice forming on it! I pulled in a total of 9 Northern
Pike in a period of about 2 hours. Since the water was very cold I used
a very slow retrieval method with the lure. I would give it a light jerk,
then let it suspend in the water for approximately 5 seconds, and then
repeat the process.
