If you don't want to use a steel leader and you're worried about toothy critters, you can attached a 25-pound test fluorocarbon leader to your mainline using a uni-to-uni knot. If you keep your drag a little on the loose end and don't horse the fish, you'll land the vast majority of the ones you hook. I've landed two muskies on medium action gear where my 25-pound fluoro leader and my uni-knot held up. They weren't little ones either.
