I have only caught 3 Northern pike. All in the same day. They all were caught on 4x and 3x tippet. That is right 4x tippet. ..... They were only about 10 inches long.
Traponjim. Thanks for the info on the bimini twist. I had listened to Barry Reynolds talk about catching northern pike probably three different times. Each time he talked about using monofilament for the shock tippet or the wire and that the wire was a stronger connection of course. Each time he talked about using a bimini twist but never clarified how to apply it. Thanks for clearing up the muddy water for me.
The slim beauty looks like a reasonable knot to tie for a shock tippet connection:
