I've watched most of the pike fight and fly versus jerk vids and occaisionaly they get bitten off but just shrug it off as one of those things.Can't see how it can be acceptable to leave a pike with a whacking great lump of plastic stuck in its chops if it can be avoided by using wire.

No respect for their quarry and a touch of "Monkey see Monkey do", sums' it up nicely for the majority of them.

I managed to get a second angling club to ban FC at a committee meeting last week That's two clubs I have got to change their rules banning it. Still work to do, as sadly it's use is gaining in popularity thanks to idiots promoting its use online.Mattjb wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27 2019 10:55 -Only thinking of themselves, they think they get more fish because of it, I think it deserves to be cracked down on in the UK and taken off the shelves.I often look in on Andy Black's blog page and was suprised to see a pic of him using a flouro trace.

I watched (just) one episode of his latest TV show (by accident, as I was hoping to see more Monster Carp) and oh dear, oh dear and oh dear. How that got to the screen I really don't know. What's the PAC's official line on the use FC in pike fishing? Keen to know face. I've got a couple of big clubs to ban it and am currently lobbying a third. I'm presenting at the next committee meeting on behalf of the pike ...Turned on Dean Macey the other night and they were deadbaiting a canal with fluoro traces.

Why not channel the criticism towards the Savage n Rage team who promote their use?

It's not only FB:

"The heaviest I use is 14-pound Berkley Trilene XT," he says. "I often drop to 10-pound-test and see an increase in bites." He doesn't use fluorocarbon or wire leaders here and says big pike won't strike heavier setups. Everyone has a story of a big pike or muskie landed on 6-pound line fishing for walleyes. I feel that in those situations, big fish were caught because of the light line, not in spite of it." He's had his share of lost fish but, over the years, extra bites have more than made up for it.
