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?

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.

I have found that leaders become important when the water is very clear and cold. Otherwise I don't use them.

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.
