It's a give and take but something to think about.

I bought wire leads for when I jig striper but bluefish are present. Someone smarter than me convinced me that the wire is good if all you want to catch is bluefish. It really deters the striped bass. He would use a heavy mono leader instead. I'm sure the same applies to freshwater with the wire leader. The question is, would you rather risk getting bit off or risk getting no bites? Tough one.
