Jim137a Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Tough bite today - plenty of follows in the AM at one spot. I decided not to keep bombing casts at the followers and came back later in the day after the wind shifted and got this lil fella but swimbait pike are so much fun. Hopefully on my next trip I can get a bigger one. flaswimbaiter, kookfarmer, Jinxd12 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the bait, water clarity, chop etc - I use 40 to 80# flourocarbon leader. manansalsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
