Musky Leaders

There's alot of Musky leaders out there to choose from. My best tip would be if your only fishing Musky a few times a year with your pike or bass rod and aren't casting bigger musky lures you could get a few wire leaders. Make sure to get at least 50 Lbs test leaders something that can handle a bigger fish. Only thing with wire leaders is that after a few fish your leader is all bent and mangled, your stuck changing leaders more often. Now, if your a big Musky fisherman, I would consider you do make your own leaders with snap swivels and fluorocarbon line. I use 275 lbs test snap swivels and 80 lbs test fluoro.

I'll make my leaders any where fron 12-15 inches when im casting, if I was trolling I would make them 18 inches or plus. I use the canoe knot for my leaders, it's a strong and very simple knot to tie. Here's a ''How to'' video on the canoe knot.
