Making own leaders

(1/7) > >>

Esox fisherman:
So making your own steel leaders ive found from the other forums you use single strand for live bait and multi strand for lures but do you tie the end or crimp it to a swivel snap or lure

EsoxVenator:
Use 50+ lb Floro. Low vis, but has to be replaced sooner. Pull it through your fingers to see if it feels rough.

RapShack:
There are some tieable wires but most use crimps, barrel swivel on one end just a snap(no swivel) on the other.   As mentioned 50lb fluoro gets the job done and can be used for jigging and tipup leaders.

Esox fisherman:
Haven’t had luck with fluorocarbon

WindRiderGear:
You will want to crimp.
