| What do you guys use for a leader when jig fishing soft plastics? I like to use big jigs and 6-8" paddle tail or big grubs for big pike/muskie. I am wondering what kind of leader you guys use? Should I get some 130lb mono or fluoro and tie my own?
Thanks |

| 8" of light solid wire (haywire twist with your hands) is what I use targeting big pike |

| I've had good luck with heavy flourocarbon leaders. |

| Back in the days when I was doing a lot of creature fishing I used Mason hard line and Tyler leader. Today it would be Tyger leader or flourocarbon. |

| My rule of thumb is that if I think the fish is going to engulf the lure, or head shot it, use wire. For your jigs? Wire all the way. |

| We have done well on jigs. Use Solid wire leader with good results. |
