| What type of leaders do you guys prefer for top water and what about for Glide baits? been using 18 fluoro for top water and its too much moved to 12 inch fluoro for top water lil btr but still lil heavy...thought about trying a shorter titanium for top water and gliders but wanted opinions first these leaders arent cheap... |

Location: Ashland WI | I use solid wire for gliders. |

| Single-strand wire for me, too, with no swivel, for gliders and dive/rise baits. I usually use 120-140# wire. |

| 120-180# single wire 12". If it's to much pop the swivel off leaving the ring, if still to much pop the snap off and use a split ring. If still to much cut the line tie ring off. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | I use 130lb fluro for everything but really light spring focused baits (6" shallow raiders, baby jakes, etc). Don't believe the hype with Titanium. |

Not sure I like it so much. Might have been a bad knot, but lost a bait to a weed (knot let go ) on cast #10 of trying out my hand-tied jobbers. |

| I use Stealth Tackle Multi-strands for everything. I like them shorter, and am probably gonna try out some of their "small game" ones this year. |
