I had a small Jack pike about 7lb bit straight through a new freshly tied 45lb fluro carbon . Never used it since that fish probably died with my lure still attached to it
I'm going to try 100# fluorocarbon leader where I live because there are many species in the river, one of which is pike. I'm not always trying to catch pike but I don't want them to bite off my mono line.
I'm in a very similar situation. Pike and walleye in the same areas. I'm trying 50lb flouro because the pike here are not giants, rarely over 30 inches. I'm going to tie my own worm harness spinner rigs with the 50lb flouro and test to see if the walleye will still bite.
@Christopher Cook Check timestamp @1:12 the fishing "professional" stated that fluorocarbon has no memory. This is absolutely 100% incorrect. Fluorocarbon is one of the most stubborn materials because of its incredibly high coil memory from the spool. The knot he tied to finish the leader was also incorrectly described. The fishing "professional" stated it was a simple over hand knot with 1 wrap. That was also 100% incorrect and the knot requires 2 wraps to be secure. The term comon was a typo; I meant to phrase it come on. A way of expressing disappointment.
