I've always used mono line on my Curado.
All this talk lately of braided line makes me want to give it a try. I
assume you use a mono or flourocarbon leader for (in)visibility
purposes when using braided lines?
How much of a leader do you typically use - 6-8" or so?

What other situations would you use a leader on standard rod and
reels(non-fly-tackle)?



I NEVER use a leader on braided line. I tie direct to the hook.

I'm with Rich on this one. I too tie directly to the hook, regardless of
what type of lure I'm using.

I figure that if a fish's brain isn't developed enough to register pain, it
certainly isn't going to reason out a line from the lure.
