What Line Should I Use
Message:
Hey guys I'm new to the site. I was wondering what line/lbs test I should use for Pike fishing?? I have an Abu BCX with a 7ft MH rod. I'll mostly be throwing big spinners, swimbaits, and stickbaits with it.
Last season I just went with Berkley Trilene Mono 12lbs with or without a steel leader. I got less action with a leader though. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Instead of using a steal leader, use a heavy duty 60 lb test mono leader.
I used to use Berkley XT all the time until I started getting great deals on Rapala and Suffix lines on Ebay. Rapala and Suffix monos are stronger than Berkley XT mono. For pike fishing, I'd go with 12 pound for the smaller fish and then work your way up using 16 and 20 for the bigger ones.

Not very familiar with Pike but I know with salt water fishing I use 15 lb mono with a 50 lb Seagar Flouro leader.
