No more wire leaders! I don't remember the last time I got bitten off by a bluefish. Stripers will see that leader a mile away. If you are really concerned about being bitten off find some Perlon leader material. Check your local tackle shop. it is cheap and heavier duty than mono.

I was fishing last year a few times when there were nothing but big blues in the area. I put on a crappy plug and caught them for three hours on one day without changing my leader just to test it. 40 lb Perlon leader. It was nicked up but I never lost that plug.

Bass won't bite through any leader. They don't have any teeth.
