Hate to say it, but u will prob come home with a few less lures than when u started. But its worth a try.
Lately I've been using eagle claw snelled nylawire liters, size 1/0 hook.

Re: what size hook for passiac river pike??
A 1/0 is prob a pretty good size hook, but I'm partial to fluorocarbon. I think in the long run it produces a few more hits. I use 20-lb fluoro for pike ice fishing and I have yet to have one bite through (even took a musky through the ice with fluoro and the leader was nestled between it's teeth). As long as you don't have your drag locked down and try to muscle the fish, even a big fish shouldn't bite through 20-lb. fluoro. If you wanna feel comfy, up it to 25, but I also believe the lighter the leader, the more natural the bait looks in the water. Just my opinion.
