If 20# flourocarbon will catch fish then 50# braid the diameter of 12# should not spook a fish.
And it certainly does not affect moving / swim bait bites.
I think I will still forgo using leaders.


I have had the same braid on my reels for 4 years now, I can go from 10 lb to 50 pound leader in a minute, saves lots of money, time, and it is by far the most sensitive , jmo.
