So for a while I was trying to catch pike on just lures and live bait without leaders or steel cable leaders, but I lose my gear almost every time. I know my brother who I take fishing from time to time brought in a 3 pound Pike without it biting his line off. I'm just curious as to what everyone reccomends for a setup. I've never caught a pike over 10lbs, but just shy of 10 pounds. I caught that particular fish by accident, one trebel hook caught the lip and one caught his head, so I got it in pretty easy.
I've been experimenting with those steel cable leaders becuase I haven't found a dealer of Tyger Leaders like you reccomended to me. I've found the 6" and the ones up to 24", but what could you reccomend a fairly inexperienced Pike fisherman? If you could include both Lures and hardware that'd be sweet! I'm not afraid to keep retying stuff becuase that's all I do anyway! My friends stand firm on using swivels but not me. I prefer to be practiced in knot tying unlike them lol. That's why I bring in more fish!
Please help me!
