Do you use a blood Knot and attach to mainline mono Jim  ? Thanks for the idea.

John...I have done well using 30 pound green braid for pickerel leaders at Deep Creek Lake. Stren Super braid or Gamma will do you well.

I need to find some light gauge wire leaders or make some up out of used  guitar strings or something. I got an 1/8th oz. Little Cleo spoon cut off by a Pickerel last week. I catch Pickerel on 1/6th oz. and lighter spoons but the wire leaders I have are heavier gauge than I need for this light process . Any one know a good source for leaders that would work for light spoons?

Actually, a tangy sweet fish pickle in that dressing sounds good.
Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 20, 2015 at 4:31pm
Something like that, John.
I think the fish was pickled separately. The fish was then mixed with the dressing... Kinda like we might do with canned tuna.

Pickerel in sour cream/mayo and spice .Hmmm ?!

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:28pm

David, I'd like to know how the Germans do their pickling .

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:26pm

Would love to get into a 15 lb Pike!
