^^^^IMO: Smithwick Rogue and Rapala Ripstop. I'm still a Husky Jerk/wire/lead tape fellow: I was validated last week on "In Fisherman". Doug said he always used wire with jerks when pike were present. I quote: "The walleye don't mind". CAVEAT: I studied the leader and it appeared home rolled; not from an Eagle Claw pack. Buy Eagle Claw packs and home roll...(?)
I DO recommend coated steel over titanium if you're constantly casting. Titanium becomes randomly brittle and will snap on on the back cast: Not "much" of an issue on the bank or if the bait floats: Still a pisser.
That is all.
