Have a look at SIMPLE RIGS

Remember though, the pike once out of the water is extremely frail and needs proper handling. If you have never been piking before, or have never handled a pike before I suggest you go with someone who has and can learn the basics from them as I'm sure the last thing you want is a pike going belly up

mac`s spot on pike might look hard as nail`s but they are a very delicate fish, and need to be handled with care.

have done dead baiting and live baiting but not for a long time now as i prefer to lure fish for them.

will try and sort some info out for you onions

You should treat them BETTER than Carp. Carp are a hardy fish, pike are NOT.
