How To Make Bite Leaders: Most Critical Part of a Bluefin Setup

Learn how to make bite leaders, the most critical part of your bluefin setup, with this tutorial from BDOutdoors Pro Contributor Nate Winicki. Perfect for nighttime bluefin fishing.

Nighttime bluefin fishing can often be your best shot at a trophy-grade fish, and rigging up with the correct gear can mean the difference between landing that personal best or watching it swim away.

Today BD Outdoors Pro Contributor, Nate Winicki, walks us through one of the most critical parts of your bluefin setup: the bite leader. When fishing for large bluefin, the part of your line under the most stress is the first three feet from your hook. This is where the fish has the most chance of biting through the leader or using leverage to break you off under the boat. With a heavy bite leader, you eliminate the chance for bite-offs and create an ultra-strong connection from your lure to the rest of your main line.
