Do you'all have any suggestions on 9' or 12' leaders pros and cons ?? I see they have some titanium 100 lb. test leaders on Cabela's website. Rick

First off, you may not realize you can edit your own posts.

As far as the leaders go, we fish for walleyes and northerns and use primarily 9" steel leaders rated for 20#. Maybe a 12" if that's what we grab first. Can't imagine needing anything close to 100#. What weight line do you use?

8 lb. line most of the time. I looked at Cabela's website and they had the leader listed at 100 lb. test. I did not see any less, must have missed them. I will look for 20 lb. Should they have a swivel or be solid? Thanks or the help.

Unless I'm targeting huge pike or muskies, I see no need in any leader over 10" long and over 20 or 30 lbs.

Most of the ones I use are 6-8" long and 15-20 lbs. No reason to use a 100lb leader if I have 10 lb line. They can't bite through the wire, nearly regardless of the lb test. Why use 100lb leader when your line will break at 8?

Something like these work fine. I'd definitely get one with a swivel on the knot end. You have to pick the lb test and length once you select what you want.
