I do not use leaders on braid. I don't like the idea of adding
another knot to the equation. Most of my fishing is done in weedy
areas a leader would just give me a weak link in the system. When
they take me down into the weeds and start wrapping around the veg,
a leader would just be like a get out of jail free card.

Pardon me if this has already been discussed. I'm getting ready for
a trip to Rio Unini in the Amazon. We're going after Peacock Bass.
I'm planning to use 65 lb braid (Power Pro). If I tie braid right to
the lure am I more likely to break the line or rod than with a
leader? I hear they fight like Tyson. :^)

Also, I've been trying various knots to tie the leader (12 lb mono)
to the braid with varying degrees of success. If you have any
suggestions about the best knot to withstand Peacock abuse I'd like
to hear it.

Thanks in advance.
