Single Treble Rig
RyanW:
I use a #2 treble attached to a 6”-12” steel leader (black) tied to 30#-50# Mason spooled on an HT original polar. I like to use 6”+ live shiners and haven’t had any issues catching pike of all sizes. The treble is always in the corner of the mouth.

how do the shiners act with the treble in the corner of the mouth? I generally hook them in front of the dorsal fin

I'd suggest going to at least 50#. It is more difficult to tie the knots but you can cinch them down with some spit and finger nails. If you use anything less than 50# I'd suggest with just going with steel.

I am assuming the pike are hooked in the corner of the mouth. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, my apologies for originally mis-reading it. that's what happens when you try reading without adequate caffeine
