RE: Pike fishing newby question...
I learned that the hard way I went ice fishing for pike this year on the way up to the lake we stopped at a local bait shop and the owner gave us what we thought was good advice which was to use 15 lb mono as a leader instead of wire leader he told us the fish were line shy what a mistake that was i can' t even recall how many fish we lost some at the hole I will never go for pike again without steel leader[X(]
