Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr. Stevenson" data-source="post: 326875" data-attributes="member: 7414">When a high probability of pike is present I will be equipped with a wire leader especially when using jerkbaits.  I like to roll my own like fun with marijuana.  I attempt to minimize the profile and use saltwater quality swivels; my favorite snap is either the 25 or 40lb Eagle Claw Quicklinks.  This style IMO IS very quick and hydrodynamic:  IME this style clip is like .22 rimfire ammo availability:  Boom or bust with the added benefit of frequent changes in moniker.During the Viet Nam War US troops were warned to not use commie guns and ammo.  Reason being; the CIA produced AK cartridges which were essentially bombs.  The rds were covertly/randomly inserted in the ammo supply.  The intent was commie fear to fire a rifle and diminished accuracy.  IMO it was brilliant in concept unfortunately resulting in US casualties...Also; FYI there are 1903 Springfield's out there which can detonate due to improper heat treating...the serial #'s are available on the internet.I digress:  A few years ago I bought a shitton of 50lb titanium Terminator Leader Material; thin, pliable and strong.  The stuff will randomly snap in mid-cast and remarkably (a lot of times) land the lure near it's intended target (baitcaster).  IME there's no way to determine a break warning so I clip the hardware every few hundred casts and recycle.  I started with 8in and now think the "secret" may be 4in.Only Northland spinnerbaits are compatible with the above tackle.  If the leader snaps it is gone.  I love Northland spinnerbaits and am sad at a loss.  I've had some/good success retrieving jerkbaits.  My "Sean Hannity" type question is: Should I switch to coated steel or buy more collets for the diameter of fluorocarbon?<img src="https://nodakangler.com/forums/cache.php?img=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRLyKt1oaSYDhkND8D9-BEolHRV3wI1RhDxY7jkCHHTCQgRngB_ENeCK6BNlb7s5ir38zOmHus%26amp%3Busqp%3DCAc" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />- - - Updated - - -<img src="https://nodakangler.com/forums/cache.php?img=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQ7mIq8RAntmiiqWakAu7_1PA_fj8yYGVlpZXInh9ZxSkfirLCvKtemPxO4%26amp%3Busqp%3DCAc" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />- - - Updated - - -I hope you enjoyed this long read.- - - Updated - - -I'm thinking steel.</blockquote>
