re: Mono leader when using braided line...is it needed?

so many factors, but if the fish are hungry it really doesn't matter.

I use fluoro on spinnerbait, crankbait, swimjigs, dropshot

braid punching, flipping, chatterbait, buzzbait, frog, whopper plopper

braid with 14lb fluoro leader wacky rig senkos, flukes

mono only thing left is rattletrap, spook jr, rogue


and it also depends on your rod setup. You don't want a stiff heavy rod with braid to fish say a spinnerbait. You want something that gives the fish time to eat the bait before your hook set reaches the bait.
