Always a mono or fluoro leader with braid. Heck, since I use Seaguar Tatsu Fluoro, I use 10 pound p line fluoro leader since I crank sharp rip rap and rough stuff, so when the line gets abraided I just shorten the leader till I have to tie another. This way I don't waste line.

Topwater is my favorite, drop shotting my least favorite.
-
I have a yellow perch Deep Wee R, one of my favorite medium/deep cranks.
-
Koppers LiveTarget 55T in Green Brown.

Temps are in the mid 90s to low 100s this time of year, water temps are around 80 degrees. Will do it.

A lake I fish has matted weeds but they only grow in 1 - 4 feet of water. I do catch fish on frogs in these weeds. Is this too shallow for punching or should I try it?
-
Thanks, will do.

I got rained on yesterday for a while, not real hard just a steady drizzle for about 30 minutes twice. During about half of that I had them covered with a tarp since I don't have a rod locker. With water getting in them, does that mean I have to clean them now in order to get top notch performance?
-
Nooooo. I don't like anything but a 5 ratio for cranks, though I can see some merits to a 6 ratio for heavy cover shallow cranks.
-
Day in and day out, what retrieve seems to work best? Of course I have to let the fish tell me, but overall a rip/pause has been best for me, but I've caught them just reeling it, and on long sweeps of the rod.
-
I like the skitterprop and torpedos, especially the magnum and baby torpedos. I really like the cotton cordell crazy shad and the Live Target blueback herring for double prop baits.
-
Heavy vegetation/punching though I go with a minimum of 65 pound braid.
-
Veritas 2.0. The Medium is pretty light actually. What techniques do you want to use with it?
-
They are fine.
-
How deep does it run on 10 pound fluoro on a long cast?
-
Hi vis mono with a fluoro leader, since I'm a line watcher. I prefer 14 - 20 pound test depending on the cover.
-
My favorite all around worm is a 6" curltail worm in green pumpkin or black blue.
-
What are you guy's favorite baits to use on a carolina rig in murky or heavily stained water. I have decided on full size zoom brush hogs, 8" - 12" worms, and lizards of over 8".
-
I like a 7 M' or MH Abu Veritas Winch for buzzbaits. I like a parabolic bend to keep from pulling away from the fish and keeping them pegged. Any good M or MH cranking rod is perfect for buzzbaits. In heavy vegetation use braid.
-
Another vote for the Curado 200I PG with the 5.5:1 gear ratio. It BOMBS your lures and the external brake dial helps you really keep backlashes at pay in changing wind conditions.
-
Lew's Tournament MB, or the Lew's Super Duty Speed Spool.
-
I love good old gamakatsu round bends.
-
Black blue flake, blue bug, blue sapphire, black neon, plum crazy, and junebug.
-
The best IMO is the Koppers Live Target 45T, it's 1 3/4". I also like the Scum Frog small dog, and the spro bronze eye baby pop.
