The braid, an essential fishing line for pike fishing

Although braid is a fishing line that is increasingly being replaced by nylon or fluorocarbon, it is still extremely useful for pike fishing. Its low elasticity and low water absorption make it perfect for bridling large fish in weed beds.

braid is a fishing line made up of several strands. Braids of 4, 8 and 12 strands are most common. For pike fishing, 4 to 8 strand braids are used. 4-strand braids are very popular for fishing in crowded environments. They are highly resistant to abrasion. So you won't have to worry about fishing through dead wood or rocks.

However, with 4 strands the braid is rough and noisy. That's why pike anglers most often use an 8-strand braid. Softer, it rubs much less in the rings and gives good casting distances.

Fluorocarbon, an ideal fishing line for leaders that resist pike teeth

A good braid is all very well, but without a strong leader it's useless. The braid is an excellent line body, but watch out if you try to use it as a leader.

To resist the teeth of pike, some usesteel. No angler will question its strength. However, its discretion leaves something to be desired. Fluorocarbon is the solution. Its refractive index to light is very close to that of water, making it virtually invisible below the surface.

What's more, fluorocarbon is a monofilament that can be knotted even at large diameters. And best of all, it is perfectly resistant to pike teeth from 80/100.
