Catfish leader

Although catfish are not known for having teeth as sharp as those of pike, fishing for catfish still requires a strong leader. In fact, this rigging accessory is designed to withstand their jaws, which are made up of small raspy teeth that can sometimes break your line if it is too thin.

Leaders ready for catfish fishing

Beginners and experienced anglers alike have all been faced with the often tedious task of tying knots in large-diameter braid and fluoro. That's why there are more and more ready-to-use leaders that can be connected with a simple knot to an eyelet.

Easy to use, they allow you to change your leader quickly and easily, even at the water's edge in the event of a break.

In the unlikely event of a breakage, make sure you always have a few spare lines on hand so you don't have to cut short a fishing trip for lack of spare equipment.

Whether for bait or live bait fishing, leaders are appreciated for their resistance to abrasion and their discretion, depending on the materials chosen.

DIY leaders

Ready-to-fish leaders are great, but making them yourself is even better! With a bit of organisation and elbow grease, you can make your own leaders in the size and diameter you want, and with the materials you prefer. In braid or fluoro, for bait fishing or lures, the choice is yours.

Even if it generally takes more time than using ready-made leaders, the end result is often more satisfying and of better quality.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of fishing, days when the weather doesn't permit a trip to the water's edge or closed periods are ideal for making catfish fishing leaders.
