I hate to disagree with arguably the best fisherman in the world but, I found a longer leader works better in the cold water where the bait can drift slowly a little freer and more natural. I also wish he discussed leader material and size, and hook and bait choices.

I hate to call you out, but I didn't actually write that article...

Ike is pretty good too though!

I do the same thing as Comfortably Numb. Colder water = longer leader. My reasoning is when fish are less aggressive, I don't want them to feel the weight too quickly after they pick up the bait.

 

But what do I know,  I am just a weekend fisherman.
