10lb Power Pro for EVERYTHING......and 18" fluoro leader on some things. I'll only use straight mono if it's a dedicated pike setup.

Totally agree poppa....Less fish loss as the old mono breaks from the stress of a good size fish.

You guys aren't wrong that you will snap off less! But I'm a firm believer you will spook less fish and get more bites using just light mono.
