Brandon Michael Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 During the summer I fish Conesus lake in New York. It gets heavily weed choked and only a willow leaf spinner blade will cut through. I would like a line suggestion either Florocarbon or Braid and the suggested poundage. BUT, while also keeping in mind your guaranteed to run into large pike and Tiger Muskie's. So I want something that wont break easily. Thanks for the help. I was thinking either 20lb floro or braid. Quote
HookdUP Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 For teeth I'd rather have the Floro 1 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Jfrancho has posted about tieable wire got leader where toothy critters are abundant. I'd match some of that to braid. 1 Quote
MIbassangler30 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 50 lb braid and possibly a 30 lb wire leader. I like making my own leaders for toothy critter applications and stinger trebles. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 13, 2016 Super User Posted February 13, 2016 Welcome aboard, Brandon! I didn't fish Consesus much when I lived up there, but I can say that you can use braid and tie on a heavy fluoro leader (or the titanium wire leader that can knot up). Nastiest creature I've got down here, or at least one of the nastiest with teeth, is the chain pickerel, which isn't as big as your Tiger Muskies... I have caught them on 8lb mono. Also lost them on 15 lb copoly, so all depends on where they're hooked. http://www.basspro.com/Knot-2-Kinky-NickelTitanium-Leader-Wire/product/1305170641301/ 1 Quote
