Briaded line question

Featured Replies

For all you die hard Braid fans when using braid do you use a leader? if so what type of line?

I use a low vis mono leader for topwater presentations (just frogs with braid) or a fluoro leader. P - Line XPS fluoro leader material is by far the best.

I don't use leaders. Whether misplaced or not, I have confidence that the line doesn't deter strikes.

Marty, I agree with you. I use the florocarbon leader to make the braid sink when using weightless soft plastic presentations.

I only use leaders when fishing Stone walls and roadbeds.. I use Copoly Leaders Usually..if some Fluoro comes along cheap,Ill use it. I definitely do not use Fluoro or Copoly for fear of fish seeing the braid. 100% for abrasion resistance.

either yozuri hybrid or bps fluorocarbon seems to work good for me. 12-17 lb depending on cover

I use nothing but braid on about 20 spinning outfits, I do not like mono.  I always use as leader, cut mine from Ande and gave up on floro leaders after seeing no real difference.  My rule of thumb is doubling my line strength, 10#line, 20# leader and so on.

Go with your own comfort.

I don't use any leaders at all either.  I also belive that the line does not deter any strikes.

Later, ;)
