i tried making a couple of these.{it is pictured in m.m. trolling secrets 1} 3-4 foot leaders with small blades every 6". i crimped small sleeves to hold the beads and blades and the sleeves ended up cutting the leader resulting in a lost granny. i guess something like bobber stops might work? anybody use these leaders with good results?

What material were you using to make the leaders?

first it was flouro..big mistake..lol. then i used 65 lb 7-strand and the crimped sleeves i used to hold the blades in place still broke it..there is some serious pressure on the leader and rod with 5 or 6 blades then a bait behind it all...seems like a great idea...

there was a brand that made hardwire leaders that had the blades on them.. and in r&h you can get the BURDE ENHANCER LEADER for like 3 bucks apiece...bill
