Pike tippet

Recommended Posts

I've found the 10kg titanium wire is good for flies as its quite kink resistant. I've also used the seven strand types a lot of years and never had one fail on a fish. I use crimps and a proper crimp tool to attach link and swivel. I have mostly fished 20,30and 40lb seven strands with no issues on fish to 25lb throwing baits to 10oz

Hope that helps.

Dave,

 

What knots do you use and what strength Authanics wire? The heavier stuff at 27.3 KG looks like it would handle muskies OK.

 

Thanks,

Rocco

 

 

 

hey rocco i use the Authanic Wire 17 KG for all of my pike fly fishing with a simple loop on each end never tried the heavier stuff but would think it would be just as good , i never use titanium traces for fly fishing now as if a fish rolls on it its like a cheese wire cuts them up real bad seen it happen but that's just me the less harm without actually not fishing for them the better

 

 

all the best
