I normally am a straight fluorocarbon guy but after hearing lots of good things i want to try braid to leader on my casting setup. I am wondering what size line i should use for the main line as well as the leader? It is for a 7ft medium heavy fast action rod that i use as an all around type combo. I normally throw spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jigs, swim jigs, and light t-rigs all on the same rod. It was previously spooled with 12lb flourocarbon, which seemed to work well for me.

im using a 7ft medium have fast action rod with 12lb flouro.

I need some advice on types of swim jigs. I fish a bunch of ponds with smaller bass. Mostly 1 and 2 ponders with the occasional 3 or 4. I want to try using swim jigs since the ponds tend to be grassy. I am not sure whether to use a finesse swim jig or a regular one. Specifically dirty jigs swim jigs. I do not know what the bass are eating. I see plenty of sunnies on the banks but the bass do not seem big enough to eat them. I have caught fish on a 3/8 ounce chatterbait as well as 4 inch keitech swimbait (not the fat). Any advice would be appreciated.
