Lures for pike...

Gotcha, just wanted to clarify because I said "catch" and that's a term that could mean a variety of things.. What size and brand are/were you using? And what size class of pike are you getting?

My preference for wire is 30# Tyger Leader...but they went out of business.  I have quite a stash and will be OK for a couple years.

I use Knot-2-Kinky on a couple rigs that benefit from single strand, fairly rigid leader, like a Mepps or a spoon.

Esox size in the net is everything from 12" to high 40-inch fish, this year, flies and gear.

I caught my first pike, about 6-7 pounds on a 4 inch Rapala X-Rap in Scoop color.
