Default Re: I broke my Pike Cherry

Go with floro instead of mono for the leader. Mono is a lot softer than floro and they can bite right through it. I was experimenting with floro vs mono leaders through the ice and had several fish bite through 80 pound mono like it was nothing. I've been using 60 pound floro and it had held up well. I've caught tons of pike and only remember breaking off 1.
