Has anyone ever tried them and what did you think of it ?
I've used this product, single strand 18lbs test for gotcha plugs / looney jigs.
I like it, it don't kink like single strand steel. but its not cheap.

A pack of 27# single strand is pretty darn cheap and will last most guys a year or two if you don't make your leaders 2' long.
How long do you recommend ?Quote:

I make my leaders about 8".Quote:

And what knots do you prefer to attach it to your main line
I tried the titanium leaders,thinking they wouldn't cut as easy......wrong.....don't waste your money.
I made my own from a short spool.....never really used them again.....prefer mono for spanish and 7 strand for kings (all personal preference)
Figure 8 knots? So far the best I've found for mono to braid is the slim beauty knot, but I've never tied wire to braid or wire to mono. Is there a swivel involved?Quote:

I use single strand for king and tie an Albright knot - no swivel, it's faster once you get used to tying the Albright.Quote:

Wirespeak: "braided wire" = Sevenstrand wire ;-)
