Title: Using wire as bite leader
Post by: Kasey Leong on March 24, 2008, 09:41:39 PM

Hi guys,
It was mentioned on another forum why a length of wire trace could not be used as 'bite leader' to replace usual 300lb twisted mono or other bite leader methods. Would incorporating wire spook a fish, make it harder to cast, cause an imbalance in the way a popper sits, or have less abrasion resistance?
