What # line flouro for rattle reel leaders
« on: Oct 29, 2020, 05:59 PM »
I use a snap swivel then change out for crappie and pike. would 10#flouro be enough for pike? the lakes I fish a trophy would be 32 inches no monsters per see. what # for crappies a set line with a small minnow on it? How long should a leader be 2 feet? This would be for rattle reels in a pop up house

I'll say yes. My PB pike was a 37" on a Jaw Jacker with a small medium shiner. Medium action rod. Black Betty Inline reel with 10# braid with a 10# flouro leader. Wish I could figure out the pic posting but. Yes. You play the fish right. It will be yours. Good Luck, Tight Lines.

We use 20lbs for pike here and some use wire so 10 is not enough for me. 

For the crappie I would go 4lbs maybe 2. Leader length depends on water clarity.  2 feet minimum.
