Huskie Muskie 36" Trolling Leader

Trolling: Longer Leaders (24-72”)

1. Shock Absorption- Longer leaders help absorb the impact of sudden strikes at high trolling speeds.

2. Abrasive Protection-Trolling often exposes lines to sharp muskies teeth, rocks, and debris, so a longer leader offers extra security.

3. Clearer Presentation- A longer leader keeps the main fishing line farther from the lure, reducing the chance of spooking fish, especially in clear water.

4. Depth Control- Longer fluorocarbon leaders can subtly affect lure depth and action.

Clear water = Longer fluorocarbon leaders (less visible)

Stained/murky water = Shorter leaders (visibility isn’t an issue)

 Fish Behavior:

Aggressive muskies = Shorter, more durable leaders

Finicky muskies = Longer, stealthier leaders
