I tie my own fluorocarbon leaders for pike out of 50lb Trilene Big Game Fluorocarbon Leader Material, and I drop down to 30lb for walleye.
They stand up very well, and I've never had one bitten off. I have had a couple break back in the day due to dodgy crimps (my fault) so now I've moved to tying all my leaders instead, and haven't had one break since.
You do need to check them for nicks/cuts from time to time though.
