Hey everyone new member here with a quick question. I am using a med/light rod with a spin casting reel. I am using mono 8lb test on it. Right now me and my buddy are casting piers and run into some weeds here and there. A few days back we were just killing the bass but ever once and a while we would land a northern. So the lures we were using were getting us hits by both bass and pike. The only problem with this is that the pike would take my lure sometimes. Lost 3 mepps that day before adding a steel leader onto my set up. Witch reduced the number of bass hits a lot. I want to try out a floro carbon leader to reduce the BASS from seeing the leader what do u guys think of that? any advice on using different line or test to reduce loosing lures to occasional pike. im open to braided line or anything else i just not sure what to do here.
