re: To use a fluorocarbon leader or not?

modified Albright knot

I use the FG knot and it hasn't failed me yet. I may try this modified Albright knot to see if I can tie it faster


To the OP:
I'll use a leader on most of my moving baits with a single hook. I use straight flouro for cranks, ploppers, etc.

The flouro leader gives a little stretch as mentioned, which I like on a spinnerbait or chatterbait but allows me the sensitivity of braid

And I use Seaguar Tourney braid. Best I've found so far and I've been through them all.


ETA: i'm throwing a leader on any water that is somewhat clean when pitching. If it's stained or muddy (90% of south LA), i'm going straight braid.
