So having come from the tx-sharkfishing.com site, the only leader i have really seen (and the only one anyone on that site seems to use) is the 20/0 circle on 480lb cable swiveled to heavy mono trace and a sliding snap swivel. Just was curious how the folks on here prefer to rig, especially when it comes to bridge or pier fishing. I was thinking of switching to a wind-on leader crimped to a snap swivel, and then having 5' of single strand wire and a 12/0 j hook, and just clip a sinker to the swivel when I need weight. What do you guys think? Thanks for the input.
Depends what u like really I like #19 steel with a j hook swiveled to 400lb mono swiveled to my main line whole leader 15-20 ft but depends where your fishing really that's really a beach or bridge rig pier rigs are like 9 foot
to each his own on leaders, it breaks down to how you want to fish.
mono, cable, coated cable, #19 wire. everyone will have there .02 but you will learn alot from all the techniques and input. Take what you can and leave the rest. Lots of good guys here.
heavy mono to #19 wire is good.
or you can just make your whole rig with #19 wire.
i would just experement with it.
