Since titanium can't be bent like normal wire, u have to rely on crimps and is why I won't use them. Crimps fail, plain n simple. If it hasn't happened to you yet, just give it time. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Flouro 80lb which r my trolling leaders - i just use a clinch knot with 4 turns, add a drop of super glue and burn the tag end so it mushrooms. Easy and is why I will NEVER pay for another leader in my life. Ideally I'd nail knot it but I've never had an issue and it let's me make leaders on the fly. I hope I helped a lil but if ya need a few leaders, happy to bring a few for ya when I go to otisco. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So, this is 240lb single strand. I get around 20 leaders made outta a 4 dollar pack of wire, do the math (it's cheap). I use jewelry pliers from Michaels to do my bends and it works well imo. Here's some pics of how I do it and all I need to do is add a snap on one end for my jerkbait leaders but if u wanted , just add a swivel for a bucktail leader on one side n a snap on the other. This way, when a leader is bent or weakened, 50 cents and 1 min later Ur back in the game. I will say it again, just make sure Ur leader is longer than Ur lure.

Crimped titanium leaders r junk as I've seen the crimp fail on small pike myself. Just my opinion as I've seen other use them and not have any issues. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll go take a pic, I use jewelry pliers for the bend on wire and if the lure doesn't spin then imo, the casting leader doesn't need a swivel. My jerkbait leaders r just a piece of wire (always make sure Ur casting leaders is a few inches longer than Ur lure so if it hangs on the hooks, Ur main line won't fray) and a snap. A swivel will cause Ur leader to sink when the bait is paused hanging up in the hooks. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I buy spools of wire from lure parts online for 4 bucks so that way u can replace em n it's no issue for my casting leaders. A spool of 80lb flouro for trolling leaders, Too heavy of line for trolling n tough to tie knots. To each their own but this way is cheapest for me.

While some have tried crimps, most of us tie the line after having issues with crimps. Do what works for u but I also 2nd the stay lock stringease Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If anyone wants to do a flyer to distribute around the otisco area, we'd appreciate that. Something that would take a knowledge person 10 mins would take me a day. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just got off the phone with Otisco Lake Campground and starting to make arrangements. Atm there are only 5 tent sites available, 2 camper sites and 7 boat slips. I'd call n get a site asap! Phone # for the Campground is 315-636-9925 and talk to Debbie. Just getting some chit-chat going as it's only 8 weeks away and time will fly. I need some flyers made up as promotion and Otisco Lake Campground offered to display our flyers to help promote our event. Please post any questions, comments or concerns as I will do my best to cover em. Looking forward to the event and want it to go well. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
