leader length???

[fountain-boy]

o.k. call em out. how long does everyone like to make their tuna trolling lures leader. i like mine 10 to 12 foot.

[rich]

still experimenting on how long i like them but right now 12 foot seems to be my favorite.

6ft of flouro to wind on swivel to 20ft of mono. not sure if the flouro really does nething but helps with chafe and them chewing on it.

[O-SEA-D]

50-75 foot Fluorocarbon wind-ons

12' is way to short for tuna fishing.

I don't use 12' leaders on anything.

Quit being cheap and go for the longer leader. You will get more bites guaranteed.

These fish see better then any fish out there.

If your using a snap swivel to connect your leader...

Then I was say no shorter then 25 feet minimum.

The idea is to be stealthy. There is nothing stealthy about a 12 foot leader.

There is nothing stealthy about a piece of fluoro with a swivel and crimps 6 feet away either.

Just my opinion, for whatever that is worth

12-15 feet of 90lb mono

o-sea-d, i take it you believe tuna see the leader in the wash?

[hunt4fish]

My shortest leader on anything is 25-30 ft. All my leaders are all wind-ons I know it makes a difference,no snap swivels from now on,and if I do use swivels they are the small SPRO swivels.I still have alot to learn but don't we all?

do the tuna see a pin rig too....

seems to me that trolling @ 7 kts + the tuna dont see that 12 leade or any connections.....

We used to make leaders 10-12 this year 18-22 feet 100lb mono.

[Current Affair]

Tuna Ballyhoo Leaders: 25 Feet of 90-100 LB Fluoro Carbon
Tuna Lure Leaders: 10-15 Feet of 100-130 LB Mono

We use a spro heavy wind-on swivel to minimize the terminal gear we have in the water or just a regular spro 80-130LB heavy swivel.
