If I am fishing spinning gear its always going to be 10 pound test or less. Its always going to be mono. And 75% of the time its going to be a fluro leader of the same diameter.

I use 20 lb power pro braid to a 10 lb Seaguar fluoro leader I use the same 20, but might vary the leader from 6-12, depending on the rod and presentation.

Anywhere from 2-10ft of flouro is great for drop shots, small swim baits, wacky worm, etc…

How long do you make your leader? The length of the rod. So the knot doesn’t get caught in the spool. Alberto knot works best. Tag ends VERY close to the knot.

First time I did leaders I didnt know this and when I went to cast the line hung up on the knot and the lure smacked me right in the face.

Thanks, I was going to ask myself...Truly a leader, not a split spool... Makes sense, because I losee alot of distance on spinning rods. I'll change it up and see if I can get more!
