Thread: Firtst trip fishing the pier

Wire means less lost fish and more bItes...but I like 20 or 30 lb fluorocarbon with a circle hook for livies and 40 or 50 for lures .. Lose a few but get a lot more feeds

What Peaches said. I'm still using a big roll of 60# florocarbon leader that came in a tackle box I bought off ebay two years ago. Seldom gets bit off, but I retie it often. Floro seems to get you more bites and fewer shy-offs.

Thanks for the replies. I have some 20# fluorcarbon - I'll try that. Hopefully I will be able to fish on the pier in three weeks. Too much going on until then.

20# fluro will get bit though pretty quick. 30# has to be retied after a couple of bites.

And this is why I said circle hook.. Not treble

Thanks for the information. What size circle hooks do i need?
