Ihave used a couple of different lines for musk/pike. I have tried cortlands 444 pike/musky taper and Scientific angerls mastery pike/musky taper. Right now I am using the scentific anglers line, and I love it!. The cortland 444 had more line memory in it than the sci-angler dose. I would recomend trying the Scientific anglers mastery series pike/musky. Oh, I am throwing the line on a 10wt. also. I've landed several nice pike so far, but am yet to hook up with one of our muskies. Hope this helps, and good luck! Dave
