you know whats fairly cheap and easy? I use about a 7 foot piece of 20-25 pound test line as a leader, then splice on about a 3 foot section of 15 pound test , and attach a 9 inch Titanium leader used in regular fishing, they are super thin compared to steel leaders, and bounce back from bending and twisting. 9 out of 10 times pike are not overly picky, and the stretch in the heavy Mono line gives your gear a bit of relief from abuse it may recieve.
just what i do, others do different.
