flourocarbon leaders, 20 lb. test work better than wire. if you're fishing shallow water, give them time. they may not run with it, they might just go to the bottom aand sit on it.

Also when your tip-up goes off remember to walk to the tip-up,don't run the vibration through the I've can scare the pike and cause it to drop the bait! ;)
