I do main line to swivel uni, then uni to swivel leader, and uni knot to hook/lure. So my leader is only as long as tip of pole to hook keeper. i always use double uni for tying line (like my backing on reel) but is line twist not a problem if I forgo the swivel? For wacky, spinners, and live bait?

So far I've used normal Power Pro tied to swivel, with 12-18 inch mono leader and have been very satisfied, but want to change leader. Here are my Combos/ techniques. All Uni knots... for backing on reel, main line to swivel, leader to hook. Uni knots have never failed me unless I ultra-lited a big fish or hastily tried to un-snag myself. 1. stradic fk 1000, Avid X medium light 6'9" X-fast, mostly for wacky weightless zoom worms on circle hooks. Thinking PowerPro Super Slick 15 lb marine blue. With seguar Finesse Flouro 8 lb. Curado 200i, St Croix mojo inshore medium light. mostly crankbaits, football jigs, buzzbaits, spinner baits. Thinking PowerPro maxcuattro aqua green 40lb. Not sure on what flouro leader. Curado 300 ej. Bass X 7'4" MH mod fast. For large lures, or bottom fishing with live bait. Thinking same PP max 40lb as other Curado. Not sure on what leader/lb test. Any insight? I want the best... Wish I could buy american made.... Is there an option? What would you do differently?

Went with the st croix Bass X 7'4" MH mod fast. Damaged in shipping and returned to sender... Amazon. Hope it doesnt take too long to arrive! Ill hopefully test it on some reds/ black drum over christmas and see how it handles a bigger blue cat/flathead, you know... when I hook one. I'll report back.

Looking to fish my curado with live and cut bait for reds and black drum in saltwater, and flatheads in freshwater. Ill be putting 30 or 40 lb power pro. Sinker 1-2 oz. Bait 3-6 inches. I use circle hooks. Thinking I want a moderate action rod? What do y'all think? Legend Glass from st croix? Or new Bass X 7'11"? I'm open to something not st croix. Or opinions on the Chad Ferguson Rod over at Whisker Seekers? Any recommendations?
