Losing your line or hook because you haven't used the right leader line is an easily avoidable scenario. The right leader line ensures a secure and stable connection between the fishing line and the hook or hook. You can create this connection using knots, prefabricated leaders or in crimp sleeves. If the leader line breaks, you only need to replace this and not your entire main line.
In principle, choose the leader line so that it is thinner than your main line. This means that it will not be recognized by fish in the immediate vicinity, or only poorly. Nevertheless, you need to use very robust materials if you are hunting predatory fish. A pike will bite through a line made of material that is too soft in no time at all. Even if they belong to the upper price segment, steel or titanium leaders are indispensable as soon as there is a chance that a predator will bite.
The expected fish species and size should always be taken into account when determining the load capacity. With a leader line, the flexibility of the line must also be taken into account. If this is not present, a large predatory fish can quickly tear off the leader during its escape and the fish will be lost. As the line also touches obstacles on the ground when the fish are on the move, it must have a certain abrasion resistance to prevent it from tearing immediately.
Although ready-made leaders are more convenient to use, they are not available in all sizes and shapes. You are therefore much more flexible if you tie your own preforms. This makes it much easier to choose the thickness and material of the line to match the hook size. You also rule out machine production errors by tying leaders yourself without making any mistakes.
