Cool, must be like pike fishing nirvana up that way, We don't have too much pike fishing here in Mass, there are some around and its a verrrry strong loyal following of pike fisherman but its almost all hardwater fishing. I do go on a yearly excursion with a large group to Vermont pursuing the toothy critters thru the ice, the idea of fishing them open water gives me major wood. My PR is 32" long which is okay I guess but it was in Vt. not here in Mass. and it was thru the ice. I do some striped bass fishing too, The ocean is only bout an hour drive. I know lots of guys swear by the braid when fishing the salt mostly fishing jigs and plugs. My experience in the salt is mostly fishing chunked bait for stripers drifting jigs for fluke etc etc.
I was really pleasantly surprised with the PP and how well it casts. I spooled one reel with it and used that for my soft plastics this am, but I bet it would be great on regular lures with swivel snap or a snap swivel, I didn;t even think of that this AM as I was eager to try it with the Sluggos.
