Depends on where your fishing it at. Thick cover, braid. Not as thick, flouro. Although, I haven't tried brain on the main line with flouro leader, sounds like it would work.

I like to use a mono leader, it absorbs some shock on the hook set and helps float the 10 inch xcite worm I fish it with!

I have always used 20lb BigGame for both main and leader but last year switched to braid w/mono leader.Seems like I don't get bit as much.Love the feel you get with braid but not sure it's not costing me fish.Got some Seaguar 25lb floro to try as a main line but will keep the mono leader.

Fluoro. All the way with a small floater at the hook to help pick the bait up.

I snap my flouro when I use braid (I don't throw the rig much....it's dreadful to me). I'm thinking of going back to mono for some stretch and floating ability.
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
