In Fishing, How Long Is The Leader While Drifting?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Leader is a short length of wire or similar material by which a hook is connected to a fishing line. You can fish using a 6 to 8lb line and heavier leader. Drifting is a recommended method as moving bait is a smarter move.

    The fishing line which is used depends on the reel, the rod and the fish that you are trying to catch. The hook depends on the bait-size and the mouth of the fish it is supposed to fit into. The sinker depends on a couple of factors. A smaller amount of weight should be used in any fishing situation. This improves the presentation of the bait and the fish will not be aware of its fate. So you could keep the size of your sinker to the extent where you want your bait to end up. If you are drifting in heaving currents, and want to catch fish at the bottom of the sea, you will have to use a heavier sink to reach the bottom.  There is no need for a sinker if you are fishing in shallow waters.
