Location: Rochester, New York		This was the closest to a pike fishing forum I could find and was wondering if anyone knew where I can get good quality steel leaders (silver color) in bulk

Location: oswego, il		Have you considered making your own? The only place I've seen silver wire leaders is bass pro, Cabela's, farm and fleet and Walmart.

Location: PA Angler		They say black or darker colors is better. The silver can get them to sometimes strike the leader and not your lure but I never really tested it. As for a leader like I just suggested in the Muskie leader thread. AFW can make your own.

I always thought the shine would attract the attention of fish and i think it does a good job

Was wondering about if the shine would attract them then they would hit the lure.
