That said I've caught plenty of big 15+lb pike on my walleye setups and been lucky.
Ice fishing I run 20lb fluoro leaders on everything unless going after really picky walleye then I'll go down to 10lb. Direct tie double uni line to line and single uni at the lure. Again I've hauled up lots of big pike and Lakers like this and no issues.
Hey MLee. I'm setting up a new rod this year and was wondering if you use 15lb braid as your main line for your pike setups as well? I'm looking to get away from the steel leaders and get into using more of a flouro leader system.
