Default caught another decent pike tonight (pic)


After a good 5 min fight got him in... caught him off shore with a 2 tail jig!

take a look at my leader after the fight, really shocked it held up some how.

These snaps are junk , I like the cross lock ones far better they aren't cheeply made . Or I like to use 50 lb Fluor leader material . Tie a 3 foot chunk on it will l sat you all season.

Lucky that snap held out til you got the fish in!!

No matter how good a given component is supposed to be, anything can potentially fail. This *was* a Berkley crosslock snap...and...well...it snapped!
