yeah it also depends on what you are fishing for- if you are going for like bluegills or something- it doest really matter cuz their stupid neways and will eat anything
THats about as far from the truth as you can get!! Gills can be very finicky and light line/ invisible line can be VERY important, i think more so for ice fishing than open fishin, but i dont open water fish em much.As for line, i run flourocarbon on most all of my bass rods. LOVE IT!! Use 20 pd braided line on the flippin sticks, like that also.
i use a lot of braided line during the summer because I fish in the river and I love the braided line because it doesn't break when I hook into a log, tire or whatever else is at the bottom of the river. However, I have never tried adding a flourocarbon leader to the end of my braid. do people use the leader when casting say for smallmouth or mainly when trolling or both? also has anyone ever had a problem with a knot slipping and losing a lure and or a fish? just curious as to how easy it is to successfully tie the knot to connect the braid to the flourocarbon.
