In Topic: pike on the fly

19 April 2014 - 08:54 AM

I also use a 20 or 30lb braid when going for pike. While I have lost a few lures through the years the vast majority of the time there is no problems. The ones I do lose are always just a quick tug on the initial strike. I don't think it's a problem of their teeth sawing through the braid but rather when they hit at the head.
For me the extra feel and the ability to get a fish out of the heavy weeds make it a no Brainer to choose it above mono. Since I know I will always tie on a spook at some point in the day I almost never use a leader unless there is a chance I might get into a muskie.

I am also a lurker. Don't know much about river fishing so doing lots of reading. Most of my fishing is bass and pike using a canoe. Done some fishing while going down the grant

Pike on a spook. They often miss but watching them shoot out of the water like a rocket is an awesome sight.
