The leader helps with preventing break-offs, especially when fishing near submerged timber. I normally use a Medium Heavy Baitcasting outfit with 12-pound test and a 20-pound fluorocarbon leader (similar to my bass fishing setups). I run the bait parallel to where I think they will be. A Spinnerbait or Chatterbait can be a great way to get them to come out from under-cover if the water is deep enough to work these baits. They will often stay in shallow water, so working deeper water won't necessarily be the best way to get them. Here in South Florida, from Wellington down through Coral Springs, I have found Snakeheads to frequent tight canals, and normally where there are thick weed lines, "Matted Muck", docks, or timber, there is a Snakehead lying in wait for prey to swim past. Now I am going to get into a few ways I love to get them to strike.

Over the years, the Snakehead has in fact become a targeted game fish and big fish are being reported in the Potomac River in Washington, as well as my home area in South Florida. Years back, it was believed that Snakeheads should be destroyed once caught as there was a fear that they would kill off any species that shared the water with these predatory beasts. or let's just fish for them, less messy that way. These fish should be killed as soon as they are caught! The Snakeheads are taking over our waters, I say we should NUKE 'EM!. This invasive "Lake Monster" can live up to four hours out of water and can consume small children left unattended while playing outdoors. 2: Balkema Publishers, exotic fish that has all of us running for our lives.
