Using any leader short of steel will eventually cost you that big one you finally get a hook into. And the new, knotable, 27-strand stainless material like Tygerwire and American Leader wire, are easy to use and even less visible than any heavy mono. Not intending to make a shameless plug, but everything you need to know is in my book, Toothy Critters Love Flies (Amazon), including great fly patterns, honed over 25 years of fly-fishing for pike & musky.
