and Make them Tooth Proof. An American company in Coatesville, PA is marketing a product that allows anglers to literally “tie” their own leaders. Two types of “Tooth Proof” leader materials are available: stainless steel and titanium. The titanium is by far more flexible and less likely to kink on a big strike thus cutting down on re-rig time.

On our podcast, Michele Stutzman talks about the product and the key benefit of working top water lures – like Zara Spooks – without having heavy leaders disrupt their action, or sink their noses. Tooth Proof products are available at Cabelas stores online and through their catalog – or learn more here.
