Two bite-off's for me, both half-way up the leader.

One bite-off was on 80lb. test using a 10" Suick. This was in the early days of flouro leader making for muskies. After that experience, I super-sized to 200lb test and was bitten off again, this time using a Mag Dawg.

Been using flouro for a few years now, and with an avg. of over 300 muskies per season, and not a single bite off I think there is something to be said for that. I used to use 130, never had a problem at all. Since the 150 is so close to the same diameter as the 130, I made the switch to Stealth Tackle's 150 pound flouro leaders this year. One thing to remember is that all flouro is NOT the same. Just like a $89 reel is not a Calcutta TE. Some will break, frey, split, get cut and get bitten through, while others can take and handle the abuse. I remember one leader that I had over 60 fish on last year. Went through a ton of snaps, but never changed my leader in over 60 fish. 4 seasons with over 300 muskies per season with no bite off, no breaks, no failure.....I'm sold. Stealth 130 if you want to go "light" or I would recommend Stealth Tackles 150 pound test for any other everyday application.
