I seems to be accepted that running leads are better when ledgering for pike. This is obviously to minimise resistance when the pike first grabs your bait and to prevent it spooking and dropping it.
I fish pretty big baits most of the time so I can only get away with leads up to an ounce. Quite often when I'm casting out I notice the lead and the bait hit the water a longway apart as the lead as slid up te line. I was thinking of putting a ledger stop or something on the line maybe 6 inches from the swivel. Would that be enough free movement?
When ever I pop baits up I just put 3 SSG on the trace directly below the swivel, so thats essesentially a fixed lead, would a link ledger type of thing be better?
