Ever since I’ve been fishing I’ve tied the lure straight to my monofilament line. I’ve read and seen videos of folks tying fluorocarbon leaders and I think I may have been missing out. I understand the reasoning behind using the fluoro leader, just not sure how to go about it. With that…could someone help shed some light on this for me?

• What application do you use it with (everything, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, etc.)?
• Do you match the pound test of the fluoro with the pound test of the monofilament?
• What knot do you use to connect the two lines (or do you use a swivel to connect them)?
• Typically how long of a leader to you use (or does it depend on the application)?

This is probably elementary for most fishermen, but I’ve never had anyone teach or tell me about it. Any help is appreciated.
