Berkley has introduced Whiplash, a braided line with more fibers than conventional braid and also color impregnated into the fibers so it won't fade. Whichever superbraid you purchase, you will have to remember to get a larger diameter line . The heavy lures that come with musky fishing will cause the extra-small diameter lines to dig into the spool which will cause line failure and send a lure flying. Berkley Whiplash line comes in a variety of strengths. The 100-pound test line has a bigger diameter and the strength to horse a musky from heavy cover.
Some anglers use monofilament, which is perfectly fine.
Berkley Big Game XT in the 30-pound class will perform well, as will all the heavy monofilaments over 25 pound test. Leaders A leader is the protective component for the end of your line . The leader will stop a bite-off from these toothy critters. Leaders come in a wide variety but there are certain leaders for each situation. Terminator Titanium Leaders offer more flexibility and movement for crankbaits and spinnerbaits, thus, allowing for more action and vibration transmitted from your lure.
