steel trace on a popper and a spoon?

[Sharky2]

Do you always use a short steel bite trace on a popper and a spoon or do you sometimes use straight nylon?

The byte on a lure is a reaction bite so will a steel trace still affect the bite from a garrick or the species that doesn't usually bite on steel?

Generally your spoon/popper will be taken from behind with only a slight chance of your line being bitten off. Straight nylon is no problem.

I know of some guys that do use steel, but i think a slightly thicker nylon trace should be sufficient.

not always a reaction bite, if it were then we'd catch fish every time we put a lure into the water and the colour and action wouldnt matter. I'd only put wire if targetting one of the razor gang or sharks
