I'll let the OP answer for himself, but I can say that over the years, I have seen very few guys use steel leaders when Blue fishing.. Once in a great while, a Blue might swallow an Ava or hit the front of it with their teeth and cut the line, but over the decades the amount of fish I've lost that way was pretty insignificant.. I personally think most fish are less likely to hit a lure attached to an ugly steel leader, but thats just my uneducated opinion.. I DO like a smallish snap swivel and heavier line when lots of Blues are around, and thats all I've ever needed.. I also never use steel leaders up here in NY state fresh water even when there are Muskies/Pike/Pickerel around... I think fish are less likely to hit a lure with them... bob
