Location: Contrarian Island | Stealth Tackle will be offering a very limited supply of 180 lb Seaguar Fluoro leaders at the Chicago show. I have been making and using them (as well as quite a few friends) for over 2 years. John asked me to make them and be part of the Stealth Tackle lineup for 07. He will have about 75 at the Chicago show and more as needed and will be available for order from John anytime.
They are made with the highest quality components and have been tested and musky approved on over 200 fish up to 40+ lbs! For those maybe a bit gunshy switching to fluoro these might just be the ticket. Very strong and VERY teeth/cut resistant.
Stop in and take a look at the Mike Hulbert/Stealth Tackle booth this weekend.

Location: Columbus, Georgia | I have a direct question about these particular leaders: "Are the ones that are 100lbs, or 150lbs breaking? Why would one use such a heavy leader?"
Is it to throw some of the super baits (weighing 5 ounces or more)?
Thanks,
Craig |

Location: Contrarian Island | Good question. No, I have not heard of the 80 or 130 lb leaders breaking but I have heard stories of fish cutting thru 80 lb fluoro before. Can't say I have with 130.
It's just another option, just like there are guys using 50 lb super line and guys using 100 lb superline... 180 is just as invisible in the water as 130, so when I started making my own leaders I thought why not use 180? 130 is easier to tie so the 180s are double barrel crimped and are rock solid. It just gives someone another option. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I used one this fall, and was very impressed. I only boated a couple using the leader before deer hunting/winter arrived, but was happy with the quality. Should be a good addition to the Stealth line-up. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Just another testimonial: I used the stealth leaders of all sizes throughout the year, and only wore through about 6 in an entire year. Do the math, they just make sense to use. |

Location: lansing, il | hey guys first off thanks for the comments... i added brads leaders to my line up for a couple reasons...first off its no secret that brad catches a ton of fish on these leaders each year along with my stealth 130#ers and also to offer somthing in a heavier material to maybe give some of the folks who are afraid to try fluoro maybe a second thought on trying it out!! all the leaders i make are 100% durable and will hold up to anything a musky will dish out, we will have 100# 130# and 180# at the show..just trying to cover everyones needs, also we will have a limited amount of trolling leaders along with the new hulcano harness for sucker fishing that was very effective in testing this fall!!! i will be at mike hulberts booth with some show specials, and we will have some pretty fancy stuff for folks to look at! as well as a pretty good raffle!! be sure to stop by and say hi! all stealth leaders are custom made one at a time so if there is somthing that i dont make that you desire we can talk about it and im sure i can fill most any needs! mark, for info on my leaders click on the link below to mikes site you can find info on my leaders there, and i will definetly extend show specials to anyone who emails me and cannot make it to the show!!!
im lookin forward to seein everyone at the show this weekend!
thank you!! |

Location: Contrarian Island | you bet Craig...good question..hope you can take a look at Johns leaders including the 180's sometime...
Pikiespawn, I don't think John has a website up yet.
I believe all his leaders are sold in packs of 2 for $10.
They can be ordered directly from John by dropping him a PM, or emailing him direct at [email protected] |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | 2 leaders for $10 is a great deal.
If I didn't make all my own I would be all over that deal.
I have seen his leaders and they are top notch. |
