Its sort of picking poison. Wire over heavy mono. I have seen blues strike swivels..knots..and even the small wake the braid makes cutting through the water when you have a fish on.

In those cases...wire does not help...and its further lost expense.

I lean to heavy mono leader and stick to cheap lures. Old bucktails and west coast surface irons. The baracuda irons have a singe hook. I have caught bass on them too. They are 10 bucks and blue proof as they are metal.



Like any blitz fishing. Fish the edges...this can help reduce breakoffs and doubles. With a single hook lure...you get no doubles.
