I almost never use them unless I know lots of blues are around. I know it sounds like a stupid question and I know everyone says bass are leader shy, but why would a bass be shy of a steel leader (even if it was nylon coated) and not shy of the shiny hooks hanging off the belly and tail of a plug?

Just curious of others opinions.
