Leader For Trolling Hb. Bream/flathead

[cjchen]

couldn't find the specific detail on leader size for trolling small hb for bream and flathead

now i fish 4lb on plastics for bream

use to use 6lb, have landed decent size flattie up to 75cm while fishing for bream, but definitely more bites on 4lb

i really don't want to lose my new hb lures, been reading what i can, some people suggest that over 8lb the bream won't bite due to being spooked

so im thinking 8lb is optimum for both species. or you pro's out there suggest just use 6lb?

however i have caught 1 bream on 10lb trolling and 0 flatties

and mainly flatheads on 6lb while i had the leader

which is confusing!

now i only have 4lb and 10lb atm so i may just have to buy some 6lb or 8lb which ever is suggested here

cheers everyone!

I normally use 8 or 9lb leader for bream luring (usually with soft plastics) where there is a chance of hooking a flathead or jewie. It doesn't seem to put the bream off and I haven't lost any lizards yet (most are sub 2kg on the small lures used).
