Hi,

Im sure Paul will weigh in here but since you asked for anyones opinion i am a big fan of stealth fluoro leaders myself.I believe they are coming in 130 and/or 150 pound tests. Have used alot of different types and for me these are the best premade leader out there. They are crimped,knotted and glued i believe giving you a bit of added confidence that they wont fail. Have caught multiple fish on a single leader with no problem. Just need to keep an eye out for any good sized nicks that could turn into a major problem later on.
They also make a three foot long trolling leader that works well.
I have gone away from the straight wire and the sevenstrand leaders even on most of my jerkbaits. Its mostly a perception thing with me and i think the fluoro leader just might give a guy an edge in clear water situations...but thats just me.You go with what you have confidence in. I know alot of guys that continue to use sevenstrand and straight wire leaders with plenty of success but i got tired of kinking with wire myself. Probably the only wire leader i use anymore is for spring trips down to Illinois casting rattlebaits. In that instance i will twist my own 6 inch long straight wire leader and split ring it to the bait rather than snap it .I believe its Mason that makes the wire in varying diameters and they make crimps also. The bulky snap seems to hinder the action a bit on a bait that small thats why i split ring plus there is the added assurance knowing that the split ring SHOULDNT open up like the snap could.(operative word being SHOULDNT)
For the guy that wants to make his own fluoro leaders or wire for that matter Thornes and places like Lure parts online offer the components necessary to do this. Seaguar makes great fluoro leader material and im sure there are others. Crimping becomes a fine tuned art when doing your own though as not doing it right can result in disapointment in a hurry with pull outs or cut offs depending on if the crimp is too loose or so tight you are cutting into the leader material. Also spend the money on the Stay loc snaps. Little bit of insurance there also.
I stick with the premade ones because of the time factor and i trust the Stealth ones. They are not cheap so that could be a good reason to make your own if cost is a factor.
Hope this helps you out.
Dan
