I have never fished with senkos so I don't know that I can help you. But if you are concerned about the steel leader hurting the action of your lure, what about trying spyderwire. Also only one way to find out for sure, put on a steel leader and try it.
I find your story very interesting. I keep hearing more and more of these hooked a muskie while fishing for smallmouths stories. Maybe the muskie are bored with all the big tackle that gets tossed at them. What does everyone think? Saturday morning my neighbor trolled for muskies all morning with no luck so they cruised over to the narrows and fished for smallmouth. He was tossing a curly tail jig and hooked a 42" 23# muskie. He however was lucky enough to hook him on the top lip which rarely happens. There was an article in Field & Stream that listed some of the top muskie lures you would probaly like, I think it was in last months issue. They even talk about catching them on topwater.
Good luck would like to hear how you work out your "Muskie Dilema"
