>>1728662Yes pretty easily. I don't understand why bass guys are insistent that they break off everytime. I wouldn't prefer to fight a monster on 6lb but for your average pike it's not a huge issue. I've only broken off maybe a handful of times out of hundreds of pike on 6 or 8lb test. Maybe bass guys fight fish different? Pic related was 29-30" in a creek I caught this past fall on 6#. Took a bit to land but not impossible.
