What Leader

[Mad-One]

Hi Guy's.......What type of leader do you use for hardbodies when trolling for toothy critters ? Wire Or Mono and how do you attach it

Cheers Phil

Mate i use single strand wire . Twisted tight in a wrap then swivel same as to the eye of the lure

Cant risk losing the Xraps on the sharp teeth of Spano's
I generaly use about metre of trace

Thanks JT. So you do a twist in the eye of the lure and then a swivel at the other end ?

Cheers Phil

Yes mate will get you a close up of the twist nice and tight like a hangmans noose

Depends on where you are fishing for me.
I agree with JT and Yeppoon/ Capricorn Bunker Group north single stand, haywire twist with snap swivels hang on and giddy up but the further south you go the less prolific are the spanish/wahoo etc so I use multi strand on the high speed lures {10+ knots trolling} and translucent mono on low speed hard bodies.
The reason is at high speed the fish don't spook on the wire but at low speed I have had way more sucess on mono than wire even though I have dusted a few lures.
More strikes is more fun!
Don't go overboard on size of mono cause they will bite through 150lb as easy as 50lb.
I have 50lb main on to a black crane 150lb swivel and 80lb leader using a perfection loop onto hard body lure.

Good luck..
