Those look good....Just be sure to set your drag super loose and let them chew on it for a bit and run a little. Definitely a lot better system then just a regular hook setup and you'll see the difference next time out or even when fishin for other stuff when using whole minnows... I use a little bit different way of hooking them, it's all personal preference, but I like angling the bait downward so that pike can take it head first. It's all trial and error and see which works best for ya.
