[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 70509, member: 330"] KD, I forgot to mention: I CANNOT guarantee durability against pike. I'm an exclusive braid guy and still vividly remember my first ice experience at Darling. I lost a lot of money in jigging Raps. I now un-apologetically make/use my own titanium leaders; being as unobtrusive (sorry) as possible. It's mainly about preserving your spool; a bbl swivel (not snap) a leader then wire. Monitor the condition of the swivel and snip the leader as necessary--back. I guess I could use mono or flouro but there's always enough excess braid from a "reel fill" to make leads...: Clear back to 1995 (diminishing before I started using bbl swivels--I used to splice with SuperGlue and Trilenes then switched to Palomars looping the whole gd reel through the knot. And SuperGlue::) This still may be the "best") . Modify rig and presentation as necessary: The main objective is preserving your spool like a fly rod. This braid stuff is beyond amazing. It does not "die", stretch or have "memory". It can be re-colored with a Sharpie. Of course my blathering could be used with mono but the strength factor is fucked by Al Gore elements. A MAJOR weakness with my Terminator homemade leaders is they work harden and break apart (snap) somewhere on the cast. I've been lucky to retrieve ALL spinnerbaits around the boy. This is something to consider and in the future; I'd just go with braided wire, clippers and modification. Preserve your spool and adjust as necessary. The key is the swivel, knot confidence and lead. Braid and Palomar should be zero issue.
