    I also would invest in some longer ones as well.

    So how long is long enough guys? The 42″ leader lengths have sold well so far but I’m open to adding a second length.

    A couple guys have emailed me to tell me “why bother” with the longer leaders since you can splice in additional leader material to suit your needs. Is this practical? It would seem to be a super easy fix to me. Let me know guys. I’m always interested in providing the products the way everyone wants them.

    I’m guessing something around 72″ to 96″ would work. Maybe split it and go 84″

    Maybe make 96″ standard and customers can cut down to the desired length if shorter is needed/wanted. I think the cost would be minimal.

    My personal preference for a spinner rig would be 72″ max. People can always shorten them.

    Pulling spinners/bottom bouncers on LOTW, 42″ is perfect.

    Mille lacs or the river may want a 6′ spinner rig with a bell sinker though……..That is what I have mine tied at…..

    I would also agree that 72″ would work, But to make them 96 and cut them down makes sense too.

    When will longer lengths be available?

    I think Dave decided against it. I had some 96″ length samples… unwinding them is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. My advice is to lengthen the 48’s to any length you desire.

    I would try this, on my fly fishing leaders you can tie a surgens knot on each piece of line, feed one loop thru the other and this allows you to add different lengths of leader or sinking line to suit your needs. Should work the same for walleye rigs, you could have pre-tied sections of 2-3-4-5 feet and just slip them in as needed without having to retie all the time.

    I just talked to Chris Tuckner… he took 3rd place on mille lacs this weekend fishing the MTT. Caught ALL of his fish on these 42″ spinner rigs… so apparently the longer leaders aren’t always the answer. Perch was the hot color apparently.

    Hopefully we can get Chris to tell the story of the $3000 – 15 inch walleye they threw back intentionally on Saturday.
