Default Big Rat l Traps for pike?

My dad's fishing days are pretty much over so he gave me a big box of of his saltwater tackle. In the box were 10 new Rat l Traps in various colors, all big, 1 oz. I stuffed all I could into my SW tackle box but had 3 left over. I use smaller Rat L Traps for bass and trout but wondered if the big ones would be good for pike. Anybody here use these for pike with any degree of success?

They'll work but at 1 oz it'd be tough to use them in shallow and/or weedy watersheds. You'd really have to rip em' good.

X2 on what Jigman said. Pike love them but instead of making river donations, i'd only use them in lakes or spacious eddies.

Jig lakers w them. Walleye and wipers in the fall. I use 3/4 and 1oz all the time. Bigger bait equals bigger fish. Deepwater dreams
