For pike, i have a box full of assorted leaders from 3'' to 36''. I add a treble on a small leader near the tail of the bait and a treble where that leader attaches to the main line near the head of the bait. Works great and makes hook removal easy as one hook can be easily removed and reatached once pulled from jaw. Best method if your fishing large baits as well due to leaders being adjustable. Just watch your pant leg with the two trebles.
