What else works for preventing blues from biting you off besides steel leaders

Setting your drag properly and good knots help more then anything IMO. I have only been chopped off when my drag was too tight.

Check leaders for frays (especially right at the knot) and replace frequently

I think using black terminal tackle and longer shank hooks helps a little.

wire is the only thing that will prevent it, even wire will get bit through sometimes
Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Yep, wire is the way to go. If you only throw old, beat up plugs, or your worst, cheap jigs, you wont feel too bad when you lose them.
I've spent most of my life fishing, the rest I've just wasted     <'((((><
