I originally put braid on my medium spinning rig - I've decided I dont care for it,  so I will switch. In the meantime I have tied a flouro leader via uni-knot. Some say the line will snap before the knot breaks, others arent big fans at all.

Whats the word? How long should me leader be for what is mostly pond fishing? 2 ft perhaps?

I use fluorocarbon leader with my braid and always use the double unit knot and have never had the knot fail. Nor have I ever had any problems with casting either. My leader is usually 2-3 feet.

I use the uni knot on my braided to flourocarbon leader. I have not had any issues.

I am getting to the point now that I can tolerate and in some cases like braided line. When I first tried it, I hated it. But I am still learning when and how to use it to my advantage.

Thanks for the input!!
