Billy - Curtiss Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I bought a whack load of P-line 30 lb test fluorocarbon intending to make leaders. Like a dolt, I didn't realize that I would need sleeves and a crimper. Can I just use it with a barrel swivel attached to the main line and then tie the fluorocarbon direct to whatever lure I am using? Is 30 lb enough for pike or will they chomp right through it?

Greencoachdog Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 30# can be a little light, or just right depending on conditions (heavy cover etc.), there's no problem tying fluro IF you lubricate the knot well before cinching it down. I use saliva or an oil based fish attractant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silveradosheriff Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 IMHO, 30 is too light for pike. I use 80 and am happy with it. I don't have any trouble tying the 80, and as per GCD, a little lube will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
