Take it from someone that was very surprised to catch a Pike when I was fishing for Bass, make sure you do a pull test from the hook to the eyelet of at least 20 pounds hanging from it.
I know nothing about lure building, but those are FINE look lures there my friend. I'd be happy to take one off your hands.
I use a red/white spoon with a triple hook...nothing fancy. Green/white also. Calm smaller lakes and you pickup the smaller of the pike family around here (PA). Unfortunately alot of the fish are SPOOKED to death by summer so , with all the stupid rules and 99% of the license money going only to feed the mouths of the game workers, I have a real problem with the sport of fishing in my state but still enjoy it from time to time. I let me license expire last yet, but am going back out at least 10-15 times this year. I hope to take my Nephew who I HOPE is old enough to enjoy this, just have to find a good blue gill hole for him to enjoy those. Great fighters and easy to catch with a tiny piece of...anything!
Anyway back to your topic - NICE again...I like the ones that replicate a rainbow trout. Musky and Pike like them too
