i use steel, dont they bite through that floro ?
Steel is the way to go, but you don't need much unless you're trying to horse really big fish. I use 20# uncoated stranded wire for almost everything. Cheap, versatile, low visibility, easy to work with...and bite proof. Learn to make a crimpless connection and you'll never look back./mike
I would use a fluro leader rather than steel. I have never had a break-off with fluro and have had much more luck with it than steel.
I use steel. I'm not going to take a chance of losing that twenty pound plus Pike I've been chasing for many years. Uncoated 18 pound wire is very thin and hard to see.
