Leader # For Braid

Featured Replies

     I am planning to use 20# braid for my spinning reels. I want to use a fluro leader. I am wondering what # fluro line most of you match to 20# braid for spinning gear. Keep in mind, I will be using this set-up for T-Rigged worms, wacky rig or similar finesse style fishing. Thanks for any help.

6lb

8-10# should work fine.

i use 6lb for dropshot, mostly 8lb for shakeyhead/anything else.

This is my system.......take it for what it's worth

 

10lb braid = 6,8,or 10 lb leaders

 

15lb braid = 8,10, or 12lb leaders

 

20lb braid = 10,12, or 15lb leaders

 

30lb braid = 15,17, or 20lb leaders

 

50lb braid = 20lb leaders

I have found anything under 12lb a bit to fragile for my t-rigs. On the other hand, I hate retying, so you could probably get away with 8 or 10 by retying occasionally.

6-10 depending on water clarity and structure.

I actually was going to type this exact formula except I don't use anything lighter than 15 pound braid. Lol

Sounds about right for me too...
