Leader For Flipping?

Featured Replies

What line setup do you guys suggest for flipping? Do you use a leader? If so what knot do you use to tie to main line? I haven't done much flipping in the past but have really gotten into it the last 6 months or so and have been using just straight 65 lb braid. What do you guys reccomend?

Only if the water is clear. More often than not, I just go with straight braid. I use a double albright for leaders.

I use 60lb Sunline fx2 for grass and will sometimes bump it up to 80 for the really nasty stuff. Just totally forget about a leader when your flipping.

I will if I'm pitching wood. Braid digs in and fluoro seems to hang on branches less. It also allows the lure to fall better and transmits much more on slack line than braid. I use Albright knot.

Before I have used 50# Power Pro with 15-20# Seaguar Red Label. I connect with an Alberto Knot. This year I tried straight Fluorocarbon with mixed results. Might go back to braid due to less line maintenance.

I use straight 40# braid no leader
