Mayhem Bait Co. offers an attractant for
pike and musky:
However, this attractant is the fake
product because pikes (Esocidae) do not respond to feeding odors (Devitsyna &
Makyukina, 1977).
Pikes are attracted only by the conspecific sexual pheromones (Devisyna & Makyukina, 1977) as well as by the alarm cues deposited in the skin of cyprinid and some other prey fish (Wisenden & Thiel, 2001).
