  1. If you want simpler just ditch the leader all together or tie longer leaders with braid. Like islandbass said, if you don’t like the stretch with mono it’s not gonna change much with fluoro. Not sure what line you’re buying for $50, but a 150 yard spool of power pro can be had for around $15 and will a few seasons without issues
  2. What’s your reasoning for wanting to go straight fluoro on spinning?
  3. I’m not too picky. I use the basstek tungsten flipping jigs and the dirty jigs tackle Scott Canterbury flipping jigs. The basstek has an arkie style head and the Canterbury has more of a pointed head. The Canterbury is better in grass. The hooks are not super stout but I find them fine for the 15lb line I use and I have used them with braid with no issues. If you flip with 50-65lb braid I wouldn’t use these jigs, I’d step it up to the dirty jigs no jack flipping jig. If I had to pick one for the way I fish I’d prob go with the basstek
  4. First post and first fishing report on the site. Got out today and hit my favorite lake from 11am-2pm. I’ve been doing well with the chatterbait for the last week here and today was no different. First fish was a 5.69, the other 3-4 fish were dinks. Lost another around 3lbs. Tried grinding out the same area with plastics when the chatterbait bite slowed up but it was a no go. Hit a few more spots on the way out for nada. As the sun creeped out so did the boaters, kayakers and the bobber crew. P.S. don’t tell the bass I was using an original chatterbait because apparently they don’t work, only the jackhammers do ?
