I am embarking on my first trip in a month. I am wondering about using leaders. I am bringing two rods on the advice of my buddy. One spinning and one baitcasting. So, question is, do I put big leaders on both rods? I have never fished for smallmouth. Sounds like you can catch both northerns and smallmouth (and possibly walleye) on the same lures. Wouldn't a big leader equal less bites for smallmouth? Thanks for the help. |

So sounds like basically you go with no leader for smallmouth and hope you don't get a big pike on? |

old_salt: "You will get a variety of ideas here. I never fish with leaders. On the rare occasions I have a bite off, I may add a leader. Titanium leaders don’t kink which is best. I do keep 2-3 leaders in my box. They weigh nothing and take no space, so its not a bad idea to bring them. Tight lines!" Yep, no leaders unless your specifically targeting pike. You will be surprised at how many pike you land with no leader. |
