Most guides pick leader by species. I pick it by lure size: 300 pound test on all the big lures, 130 or 200 on the small ones depending on the season, and every leader cut to three arm spans.
Skirts are the number one thing guys ask us about. Here is how we tie two and three skirt lures at the shop, the exact skirt codes behind our standard colors, and the trick for rebuilding a chomped skirt instead of throwing it away.
Single or double hooks on your trolling lure? We run doubles in most of our lures to cover the whole bite, front and back, but a single is cleaner, simpler, and safer at the boat. Here is how we rig for meat fishing in Hawaii and how to pick the right setup.
