Wire

Don't need wire around these parts. l use just mono as my trace

Gotcha Awoonga.

That's the part I don't understand. Why don't you need wire . . . same fish, Barra, Threadfin even Flatties I have always used flex-wire with crimps.

I am just curious as to if hook up rates are any different . . . why wouldn't you use wire other wise?

I have see a lot of fish (particularly Threadfin) lost to worn through mono leader.

I would rather miss out on a few hook ups but then, when the good fish comes along it is comforting to know you have wire where it matters.

Cheers.

g'day scrub puller and welcome to the site

I prefer to give myself the best chance of getting the fish to bite and then it's all sport and angling from there. I use 8lb leader and have landed plenty of big flattys (best is 92cms) when I fish for bigger stuff I will go up to 20lb or ever 40lb if it's out off 1770 on the reefs

Good luck mate and look forward to seeing some of your reports catching some big ones
