I always have the knack of finding tackle when I go fishing, even on the kayak. Found loads of lures and floats and a few leads. Found a decent large mepps when I was last out with a crimped flurocarbon trace. Looks fairly thick but wouldn't a pike still chomp through it? I've got a shop brought paternoster with a fluro up trace but I would of never thought to use one as a main trace? Just me?

Googled it and came up as a popular question on forums but everyone saying not to use them. I think I'll stick with wire anyway

The fluorocarbon/wire trace debate does pop up a lot on all the various forums.
Not that I have chucked many big lures for a while but I used to do a lot of it. I don't want to get in a debate about it but just for the record, for at least 5 years I used 80 or 100lb fluorocarbon as my leader on my heavier set ups, catching 100's of pike without ever once being bitten off.
The best thing to do is use what you feel confident with but I would only ever consider using fluorocarbon 80lb+ and wouldn't advocate using anything less targeting pike!
