Well finally spooled my spinning outfits up with braid this fast weekend and they worked great. Not near as many line twist problems. I have heard of people going both ways with leader or no leader becuase of the braid. Which do you prefer and why?

Leader and use the size according to water clarity. However I do use Flouro LEADER and not just Flouro line, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Usually three feet. Uni to Uni Knot when attaching.

Gary Yamamoto fishes with this setup. He told me I should and I switched. Now I catch a lot more fish in the sticks that I would lose previously and don't spend time playing surgeon with line twists.

What is the difference in the flouro leader and flouro line? Leader is a bit more stout, abbrasion resistance and diameter is a bit bigger.

Yep, just did some research and they are made to be impact resistant in smaller length's (leaders) while the main line is made to distribute the impact throughout the whole line. Glad you brought this up because I would have just bought regular line for the leader.
