I know that liters are not recommended for walleyes. Do they have any affect on lake trout?

Sorry, Walter, but I just can't resist....in response to your query re "liters" for lakers...I'd go with quarts...:-)

I think this person might have meant to say " leaders ".......

I don't personally use them, but my brother uses the 30# test 12" titanium leaders and after 10 years I honestly say there seems to be no difference if you are fishing crankbaits or spoons. It is a reaction bite they are not studying the lure. So do whichever you are comfortable with--go ahead.

I guess the advantages to the leader is if it is high quality the swivels help with twist--lakers twist like crazy trying to get off the line, and it is easier to change lures.

I still prefer flourocarbon because I want every advantage when trying to out fish my brother---I wish I could tell you it made a difference :)

Theres no reason to use a leader for lakers, they wont bite you off any more than a walleye would bite you off, and you will catch more fish without one. I would however recommend a quality snap swivel for spoons and spinners.

I typically run a main line of fireline or braided dacron, then a quality ball bearing swivel, then 4-6 feet of a florocarbon leader tied directly to a spoon, crankbait, or jig. I have never broke a lure off on a fish yet so I don't see a need for a leader per se. I use the floro simply to get a less visible line in my presentation.

You might need a litter to transport a big Lake Trout....:)
