Too many missed fish...

[WayneChristie]

way to go, nice fish. I like river pike they fight very nicely. I like 50 or 60 pound flouro for leaders, havent had a pike bite through it yet, and Ive caught a fair number of them over 12 pounds on the stuff. I make the leaders with crimp sleeves, they are cheap and work great. you can coil one up in your pocket and it comes back to straight pretty quick with a cast or two. Ive caught walleye on them in clear water too. Thinking of making some sturgeon rigs out of it too.

Right on, nice fish!! Love how this thread ended in success!

I'm lovin mono leaders. I've just been using 20# and 40# trilene and big game, cause it's cheap.

20# when fishing for big trout and 40# for anything toothy.

Works like a charm and the fish don't seem the wiser.

I hate steel leaders.

You made a change somewhere for the better! Not only were you landing the fish, but also fighting current as well. Good job!
