[QUOTE="KDM, post: 77631, member: 314"] I use 10 lb braid with a 10 lb floro leader for walleyes and have a BALL wrestling with the all to frequent pike that strike. However, pike are NOT the target. If I was specifically targeting pike, I would use 20 lb braid with a FLEXIBLE titanium leader that has GOOD ball bearing swivel components and a medium heavy 6 and 1/2 to 7 ft rod that has good flex in the terminal half with a strong backbone towards the handle. That being said, you may lose a few fish with this setup as my preferences lean toward the lighter side of the tackle spectrum as I enjoy the battle a bit more than others. A 20 lb pike will push this arrangement to the limit if you are fishing much beyond sparse weeds and get into reeds, wood, or rocks. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
