Default Whats the best leader for braided lines?

Bob,
Thanks, I'll have to try the Seaguar and the Maxima. I guess I
spent too much time flyfishing for trout as a kid, but I just don't
feel comfortable trying the braided lines direct to the hook/lure, but
then, I'm almost always fishing shallow water rangeing from stained to
gin clear, so I have always felt I get more bites when useing a clear
leader at least 5' long.

I use braid striaght to the hook/bait in all conditions except gin clear
water. Then I switch to a Seaguar Carbon Pro flourocarbon. Usually in 12
lb. I may try Maxima Flourocarbon if I get a chance. I've got their 8lb on
my drop shot rod sand its pretty incredible stuff. My partner has 12lb
Maxima flourocarbon on his wacky senko rod and he says he likes it a lot.
