Location: Maplewood, MN | I can't seem to figure out a good way to work them without my leader getting fouled on the front treble. I'm using a steel leader by the way. Should I use fluoro? I love phantoms, should I work it like that? |

Location: WI | How long of a pause are you doing with them? I use flouro and sometimes it'll loop under and foul on the hooks. I use the Hang 10 model. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | Also using a hang 10. I like that on the pause it hangs way out but fouls a lot. Do you walk the dog subsurface or twitch pause? |

| If your leader has a swivel on it take it off. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | That's how I run all my gliders but didn't remove it for the manta. It's off now, we'll see. |

Location: Pewaukee, WI | You didn't mention the length of leader, but if it's around a foot you might try a 9" length. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | 10" steel. Would a hybrid leader work well? That is, 36" of fluoro to a 4" steel leader. |

Location: Land of the Musky | I think Paul has a few good videos on his website too. Check them out and try to mimic what they are doing for line slack. I reel, snap, reel, snap and don't leave a lot of line out when I work a Manta.

Good video from "Lures in Action" too:

Location: Maplewood, MN | Just watched the video you recommended, I think I have been working them too slow. Thanks for the link! |

| I used a 130lb flouro last yr with a manta and learned a quick hard lesson when a big fish opened her mouth and ate it along with half the leader, cut it right off! |
