I know everyone has their own opinion on this, but I'd lie to hear
about everyones expierences. I started useing braided superlines a
few years ago and haven't looked back. Currently, I keep all my rods
rigged with either grey or yellow Power Pro line. I especially love
the yellow line for throwing unweighted senkos, because I can detect
the strikes by watching the line. The only problem is, I firmly
believe the fish can see the line. I've been experimenting with
various leader materials. First I tried regular Stren mono, but I
didn't like that at all. Then I tried Berkley Vanish and that worked
pretty well in most situations. Next I tried P-Line flourocarbon, but
I didn't like it at all. This Year, I'm trying Suffix Seige. So far
it seems to work OK in some situations, but it seems to have poor
abrasion resistance.
For those of you out there that use super braids with leaders,
what do you like and why? TIA


I've been using braided line for years without ever attaching a leader and
haven't had a problem with fish eating the lure. Adding a leader simply
adds another connection point that has the potential for failure.
