I use a heavy 5'6" furled leader, 2 feet of 20 pound mono then a foot of a product called Knot 2 Kinky bite tippet. Albright the mono to the bite tippet and put a perfection loop in the end if the bite tippet and add a snap to the perfection loop. Works like a charm to turn over those big ugly flies and wet socks we toss at pike.
