I was wondering what kind of leaders everyone uses for the yozuri bonitas and what color is best.

I like 10 ' of 80# Jinkai with a short trace of #9 wire to make allowance for a big hoo. Though in the past I have caught plenty of big mackerel and wahoo without the wire. Just so expensive I hate to take the chance of loosing one and have not noticed a decrease in strikes with it.
As for color purple and black is my favorite for wahoo and the dolphin color is a good bet. They make a black and orange one now but have not tried it yet but it looks like a good combo.

7-10'..? Wow, Ok -I need to redo ours then.. I think we rigged ours with about 4' of #7 wire - is that too little?? We bought the black and purple the other day for $36 & I DO NOT want to lose it on the first hit.. lol..

Also, what knots are you using?? (( I don't want to take any chances, haha...))
