I want to switch my tipup set up. I fish pike and currently use about 3 ft of Flouro off a barrel swivel from the main line. I then use 6-8" of the Tie-able steel to a treble hook (think it a # 4). I place a split shot about 12" from the hook. I recently realized that my flouro is the line and not the leader material. I'm think about switching to just flouro leader about 3'. Do you guys use any swivel to the hook or just tie the hook on the Flouro? Also I am thinking about circle hooks. What size hook is recommended. Lastly is my split shot at the right distance from the hook? when i switched to this set up two years ago i noticed more flags and hook ups as I didn't use treble hooks before. I Fished this current set up in walleye and pike water this weekend and watched people from the right and left catching fish but I only had one flag with not luck. Thanks for any input.
