It's a rough guesstimation. Probably will change for pike.

I would say 7lb for a pike and 2lb for a skimmer.

It is, of course, meaningless.

A 12lb bream is just about the right size for a livebait if you're after 30lb pike, it's just a question of finding the 14lb TC rod that you need to cast it out...............

No need for heavy rod, ballon it out from the bank Kev.

A 12lb livebait Kevin? You don't cast them!!!A gentle swing is all that necessary; they last longer that way /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

With bream you throw them back in on their sides, just like a stone, and if they skim the surface of the water your question is answered.
