Members soxpac Posted November 19, 2012 Members Posted November 19, 2012 Here in the SW MO lakes like Table Rock, Stockton and PDT , should I use a leader line when using braid for pitching a jig, Bama rig & swimbait?

Mitch f Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 IMO, since you have to tie a leader on a C-rig anyway you might as well put on mono or fluoro. But for T-Rigging I think the hassel and stability of the knot stack the odds against you. You definitely need to adjust the speed and power of the hookset when you have a leader tied on.

Dutch Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I have found that leaders become important when the water is very clear and cold. Otherwise I don't use them.
Members soxpac Posted November 22, 2012 Author Members Posted November 22, 2012 I was thinking of using a 20 lb vicious leader at about 18" on jigs(clear water only) and swimbaits. Didn't feel one was necessary on Alabama rigs. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2 The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~Babylonian Proverb
