We have them in Caddo Lake and also in a private lake I get to fish. I keep wire leaders in my boat for the days they are extremely active. They cut 80# braid better than any pair of scissors I have ever owned.

Great report and nice fish. It looks like you have a good solution for the chain pickerel. If you want something a little more flexible than solid wire try Cortland Toothy Critter tie-able wire. ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

Checked it out. Will definitely try some. A heck of a lot easier than tying one solid wire leader per jig head!
Update: I shortened the wire to around 2" per jig and it caught fish of all sizes and 4 species.

If you don't mind my asking where are you catching the pickerels? I used to fish for them in VA and would like to get into some more. They can be quite sporty on light tackle and they are also pretty good eating.
