There aren't any pike down here on the Gulf Coast, but the stores sell spoons. I've used them with good success on largemouth bass, although there are better lures out there today.
I've used spoons for many specie but anymore I fish mostly for lake trout and if I want a laker for dinner, I troll a Sutton Spoon #38....the ultimate flutter spoon. Almost as good is the Williams Whitefish spoon......The Williams is one of the few trolling spoons with the wide portion forward as a bait fish is shaped.....a great lake trout spoon.
Try the smallest Williams Wabler you can get in a gold color for perch next time you are out. They are about 3/4" long and work really well.

I don't, but a lot of guys that fish Lake Erie for big walleyes use them. I have about 100 of them that have never been wet, but heck, they look so dang Purdy, it's hard not to buy them
I use mostly Reef Runners, or Renosky stick baits...
Here's my grandson with his first limit on his first time walleye trip on Erie..

William's Wabblers #70 in silver for northern pike and black pentac spoons for large smallies. The deadliest spoon for me is the black Pentac spoon coated with clear irredescent paint (stripers, blues, smallmouth and pike).
