Like so many things, there's a trade-off. You will get fewer bites with a steel leader, but without one you will get fewer blues or sharks.Quote:

Lots of forums hav info BUT none compares with this one IMHO - I hav consistently found advice given here to be trustworthy- that's why I check it everyday- hoping to get back in September!!!
