MaseMan44 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 It almost seems sacrilegious to have a wire leader attached to the front of a glidebait. That being said, I do fear that a pike may cut off some of my glidebaits, as the big ones have been inhaling 6-7" lures no problem. What type of wire/heavy fluoro leader do you guys recommend throwing, if any? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
563fishing Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 80lb seaguar blue label fluorocarbon with single barrel crimps is what I use. Has worked great for me so far MaseMan44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG_Fishes Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I use 100lb fluoro musky leaders I got off of ebay a few years back, they work great on all baits when around toothy critters MaseMan44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterWolf44 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I started using floro this year for pike 40# and 50# works really good I was getting more action this year. A lot of time i think pike are leader shy. Floro eliminates that problem CG_Fishes, chevro1et and MaseMan44 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Stealth Tackle Leaders. Great to have both the Staylok and solid ring options depending on how you want to connect specific baits (split ring or no). For pike 40-60# fluoro will minimize bite offs. 80-100# fluoro will essentially eliminate them completely. 130# and above starts to act more like a stiff leader to minimize fouling with jerkbaits etc. Enjoy.

JHaul6 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I run 50, they dont break it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manansalsa Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 i found some 80 pound crimped flouro leader on ebay. i fish finesse swimbaits like the tk and luckily the leader hasn’t effected the action at all, and if it has, it definitely hasn’t deterred the fish.
