pike leaders

I was wondering what pound test floro to use for pike. Last year I used clear nylon leaders with good success, but Im looking to improve. How long of a leader should I use ?

Carpedium,

I use 30 lb. Mason Tip up line. The 30 or 40 is what I have found heavy enough to not get bitten off by large toothy critters. I use a Sampo swivel between the tip up line and the leader.

Thats what I use also....I believe you told me too...lol

I tried 15 up to 30 and settled with 30. The big pike would head shake at the hole and break the lighter leader no matter how light I faught them. I landed a lot of pike on 15 and 20 but did not want to lose a big pike. some guys swear by 15 lb but I think they are crazy.
