For pike, I make my own quick strike rigs. American Wire makes 13-lb test wire leader that hold knots. I tied a #8 treble on one end (palomar knot), strung a glass bead, then another #8 treble. Then I took the free end of the leader and ran it back through the bead. This makes the second treble hook adjustable, without kinking the leader. Then I tied on a #8 Ball Bearing Swivel. But, I still want to know where I can find Cortland Tip-Up line and Cortland Ice Line? Can you guys help?
