Curt, we put steel leaders on our trolling lines today.

I caught 4 Cats on that Fire Tiger. Wife was using a kind of crawdad color. She caught 3 Cats on that, and 4th Cat on a Black and Silver.

We trolled thru the same area that I have had two break offs.
I got a hit first thing out of the marina, just like yesterday. Hard hit, line striping, got rod out of holder, set drag, took about a dozen cranks on the reel, felt violent head shake, and hard pull, then ZIP...nothing........but got my lure back [laugh]. So don't know what it was. Couldn't see or feel any cuts or abrasions on the leader. It's a brand new leader, first time in the water. About 12" long and plastic coated.
Think I will leave those leaders on my trolling poles from now on. Who knows, I just might bad that Muskie, or whatever.
