A leader allows you to break-off when necessary. It is an absolute "must" if you fish rivers. Abrasion resistance is another concern. I prefer a leader ALL of the time.

I will check direct, I can't find a retailer either. -Kent

Try #30 Tuf-Line Tournament 8, I think you will like it a lot! Tournament 8 Tournament 8 braided Spectra® fiber line advances TUF-Line’s technique-specific selection of braided lines that offers anglers the very best combination of strength and handling characteristics for every fishing application. Tournament 8 is an eight-carrier braid, utilizing eight fiber bundles in the completed line rather than the more common four- or six-carrier construction. Producing the line from an increased number of smaller diameter micro-filaments, Tournament 8 delivers an incredibly smooth exterior finish, exceptional inherent body and supremely round profile. The line casts and handles effortlessly. Nano coating technology further refines Tournament 8 performance by creating a bond of nano particles resulting in a microscopic hydrophobic barrier. This barrier creates an ultra-smooth and highly durable finish. The coating reduces friction increases casting distance and greatly extends the longevity of Tournament 8’s working life. Tournament 8 is recommended for active cast-and-retrieve anglers as well as saltwater live bait anglers that commonly maintain finger contact with their line.

Monofilament is a good choice for all treble hook lures. My favorite is Sunline Super Natural.

Well now...

I think you will REALLY like the #14 Tatrsu.

This is my favorite picture of all time!

Best time for big bass: 10:00 AM- 2:00 PM. Soft plastics & jigs.

Actually, I think I should be the only guy fishing Green Pumpkin. Actually, the Bama Craw has been my most effective color.

Medium Power Moderate Action for most applications. http://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/pinnacle-optimus-xlt-dhc-review.html

X-Point, Trokar, Gamakatsu and Owner are all great hooks. If you are looking for something special, try the X-Point. http://www.ttiblakemore.com/home/vm?page=shop.browse&category_id=6

It depends a lot on the type of cover and structure you fish. The Dredge is a great all-around jig design, but my personal favorite is the Big O: http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/Big-O-Jig_c3.htm
