I caught them but throw back, was'nt targeting them.
thanks for answer, I was under the impression, steel leader spook them .
catch 22, no leader, more bites, leader, less bites, less breakoff.
I was gonna try 40-50- pnd flouro too see if that prevents break off.
I used to fish musky in st clair for years. we used 100 pound mono for leader.
broke off only a handful.
