If I am using braid, I never use a leader. I wacky rig with braid and I
guess it doesn't make a diffrence.

Back on topic:

I fished that lake for 4 1/2 hours this morning. The lake was like glass. I
fished drop shot off a point with a nice drop off with a watermelonseed 4"
worm with no luck. Fished the slop in the back with snag-proof frogs,
speedworms and a t-rigged watermelon wild thang.
Had a couple of blow ups on the frog but no hook ups. I waited on one,
nearly pulled the rod out of my hands but on the hookset, I had to duck the
speeding frog.

I finally took 1 on a spinnerbait just before I hit the launch in thick but
submerged vegitation.
There was so much more grass this time out. The canal leading to the back
section of the lake was really thick, usually no grass at all in there.

I worked the edges, shoreline and secondary edges with whatever I had tied
on (see above), with no luck.

Just one of those days?

In lakes blessed with lush aquatic vegetation, the inside and outside
weed edges are the most important breaklines in the lake, next to the
shoreline. You can't ignore the veggies. They are too important to the
bass. But always keep in mind that bass a creatures of the edge. Find an
edge to get an edge.

back to speaking about the lines for , do you put a mono leader - a
vanishing line for instance - of any type on the braided or fire lines,
or have you found it doesn't make that much of difference and so not
worth the trouble - unless maybe the lake is crystal clear, a trait Lake
Champlain for instance seldom exhibits.
