I have found,a way to save. You from getting,broken off. While crappie fishing,on main lakes. I go to any fabric store and,by me some. Beed making line,it is real strong and,has steel thread inside. I also order . on line,the smallest sleeve's. In length and,diameter. Do not get,the sleeves for necklace making,they will break. If you catch,a toothy critter. Cut it to lenght,add your swivel and,clamp and sleeves and. The leader is so lite,the fish will,still swim. With,less stress.
