Save your money.The standard SA pike leaders have the same twist system for a lot less money. I've used the SA leaders but prefer the knotable wire tippet over a solid wire leader for flies.

My personal preference is to make my own toothy critter leaders with flurocarbon bite tippets.

I have a few of the Haywires and also use the knottable tippet. They're OK if I remember to use them.

At the end of the day, I consider pike to be an occupational hazard and don't use a bite guard. I make sure I bring some extra flies and the barbs are pinched.
