SAVE $$$ - Make Your Own TITANIUM Leader! - SHOP TALK

HELLO AND WELCOME back to another episode of Shop Talk! In this episode I cover my favorite way to prevent getting bit off by toothy critters, while maintaining proper lure action and some level of stealth. You can make it as long or a short as you like, and if you can tie a basic "fisherman knot" or "clinch knot", you can tie up this leader! ALSO, keep the suggestions for videos coming in the comments below!

very interesting - wish I had been using this when the big northern bit me off at the net - pan to get some at D&S

[@MattVavrochFishing]

Great tips dude, I need to get some of that for pike in the Northwoods!

Good video Big Daddy !

When trying to teach knots, use rope. IT does not matter that half of it is supposed to be wire. Rope can be seen. 2 different colors of rope is even better. Another option is to use a black sheet of paper as a background. IF it cant be seen, what good is it?

[@CAG1220]

Would this also work for small musky jerkbaits like Lee’s DPM or like a 5” shallow raider? Or would you use a heavier wire like 20lb instead of 12lb?

[@MadisonAngling]

YES! This is pretty much exactly what I run for husky jerks, death pause minnows, and pretty much any smaller jerkbaits. I do however size up to the 20-30lb range if I'm targeting muskies

[@johanwithag2432]

Hi, way not using titanium with soft lures? Will the soft lure be damaged somehow? Or has it to do with the action of the soft lure?

[@MadisonAngling]

That's a fantastic question! There's no reason not to use them with soft plastics. I think the biggest reason you don't see many people doing that is generally when you're throwing plastics, it's more of a finesse presentation, so stealth comes into play. That said, I have thrown plastics with this leader and caught plenty of fish. Great question!
