It depends where you live and how big the pike are.If your fishing where there are a lot of snags or logs you will want to use heavier a pound test because Pike like to hang out by heavy cover. I live in northern Michigan and I use 30 pound braided line. It's best to use braided line because their mouth is hard and you will get a better hook set and you will want to use a steel leader. Pike have very sharp teeth
