Fluorocarbon pike traces

[Andy_1984]

Phone, I do take in what is being said and I would hopefully think i'm open minded enough about most things and never think I know more than the fine members of anglers net, but in this case I think I'm right as do those members who think fluoro is alright.

 

Theres a video right above you with a bite off, what more do you want ?

 

Mystical notion, what makes you think that ? It's never about feeling fish are something other than just fish, they are fish plain and simple.

 

From my own point of view I go out to relax, catch some fish, maybe get a photo then return them, I have great respect for them in that sense, not some mystical notion as you put it.

 

Fluorocarbon for pike, whatever next

Andy,

 

You don't like the word mystic? Very well, how about inscrutably "mysterious" only known to Brits?

"Once upon a time" - - - - you finish the story about pike in the UK before - - - ohh - - - - say 1974.

The video says it all. 100lb fluorocarbon CAN be bitten through. End of.

Andy M,

 

How about wire snapping? Or, mainline (there are wire mainlines), or a host of other possible events?

Once upon a time in the UK pike were killed so indiscriminately of any size. So what's your point ?

Phone, we're not talking about a faulty rig or poor choice of mainline. A wire snapping is not the same as teeth cutting fluorocarbon and is a completely different conversation.

Andy84,

 

No, you have it wrong.

Andy,

 

Musky are pike on steroids.

 

Have a look at #4 should you want to capture a world record pike.

No I don't, Fred.

 

Pacgb was formed in '77 and they started getting it right and changing attitudes. Before that pike of any size were killed with the mindset being they were nothing more than fish stock decimating pests.

4) Leader: Use of a nylon or nylon coated leader of no less than three feet (143 centimeters) is

required to be used with wire line. Failure to use a nylon or nylon coated leader will result in

disqualification. The actual leader used to capture the potential record fish must be submitted

with the application if wire line was used. There are no other regulations regarding the material

or strength of the leader used other than the nylon or nylon coating.

The “intent” of this rule is to prevent any external damage to muskellunge captured while using

wire line, should the fish roll on the lure or bait while being played by the angler.

A leader is not required to be used with the other line types unless desired by the angler, however,

it is highly recommended that a leader be used with all trolling lines for the good of the fish.

 

and your point is ?
