Floro Leader to Braid (knots)

[jedimaster]

Personally on cranks I run straight floro as it sinks and the lures run deeper. Also you get some more give and this helps to keep the fish from shaking the hook. I use a st croix medium Heavy, moderate action with 12 pound floro. Hooks fish and rarely do the get off.

 

Slow down Billy-Bass...I never said Fluoro leaders are 100% not needed! I said When using crankbaits and spinnerbaits etc. you probably don't need the leader.

If you are doing a stop-and-go retrieve that is more of a jerkbait, twitch-bait type of presentation, where I said "On jerkbaits, worms and Flukes etc. the bait moves slowly or stands still so a low visibility leader could help.
