- 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.

I use power pro braid 20 pound on all of my spinning reels. I put 8 pound up to 20 to 25 pound fluorocarbon leader depending what I'm doing. I never use a barrel swivel and always use a double Albright knot. If I have a big jig put on 20 if I'm throwing a crankbait put on 8. My leader is generally about 4 feet. This has been pretty flawless for me I love it.
