leaders for big lures

[Haggs7]

starting to use giant lures to produce giant fish. what leaders should i be looking to use? i have wire leaders, florocarben as well at titanium leaders. what are my best bet? as well what leader should i be using with which presentation?

I make my own 100 lb. fluorocarbon leaders and use them for almost every lure. If I am using really small lures early in the season I may switch to a lighter fluorocarbon leader. I fish muskies daily for about 4 months per year. I have never had a 100 lb. fluoro leader fail that I have made.

so you use floro leaders for jerkbaits, cranks as well as bucktails. great. thanx for the info

Make my own out of Seven Strand and Sampo ends, old school, but they work well and never had one break.

I make my own flourocarbon leaders as well out of 100lb flouro. The only time I do not is when i use certain glidebaits and that is with straight wire 124 or 174lb.

If you do not make your own, go with stealth tackle leades, they are the best.

2nd for Stealth tackle leaders... For those that don't make their own.

Stealth leaders bar none.. Probably the highest quality out there in flourocarbon. I would make sure you go 150# 14" if you can. Single strand wire leaders are good too.

I use flouro for most lures including bucktails, cranks, and many others and only use single wire for jerk baits. Wire leaders don't usually foul up in the hooks when jerking.. which is the main reason.
