There’s an old adage “Never say never” but… I will NEVER use a spinning rod with anything except braid to leader. Braid for reasons already given, leader mainly for ease of breaking off. I’ve been using uni-to-uni for years and can correctly tie on a new leader in under 2 minutes even while standing waist deep in the middle of a river.

This was my thought too. Why can’t bass fishing be a fun activity instead of ONLY about food or winning money?

I found my ultrasound picture!

You’ve got a great bounce-back game this week for your defense with my beloved Chicago Bears coming to town. Our offensive line can’t run block or pass block. We only rushed for 71 yards last week against the Texans and Caleb was sacked 7 times. Even without Buckner you should be able to get consistent pressure on the QB.

I don’t buy it @MN Fisher. Your sign wouldn’t have any misspelled words on it!

The only family member I fished with growing up was my uncle, and he only fished walleyes. My interest in (and learning about) bass fishing came from TV and that continues today. - Bill Dance - Hank Parker - Denny Brauer - Mark Zona

My guess is the article was probably AI generated and no one seems to proofread any more……

When a leader knot thread pops up there are always some members who tie the FG knot at home but tie a different knot on the water. I always wonder why you’d use a leader knot you can’t tie on the water? My personal choice is the uni-to-uni. I use 10# braid and 8-12# fluoro. 3 wraps of the leader then adjust the number of wraps for the braid so both knots end up equal in size. I can tie on a new leader correctly while standing waist deep in the river in under 60 seconds.

Welcome to Bass Resource! I am also in WV and fish the Upper Potomac. I’m in Falling Waters, I assume you live in the Eastern Panhandle somewhere?
