Do you use leader with lures?
Leader lines are also necessary for baitcasting and spinning gear to prevent line twist when using certain lures and reduce line visibility Many of the bass pros I have fished in recent years now rely on thin braided line with a
fluorocarbon leader
when
fishing finesse
baits with a spinning reel.
Should leaders be stronger than Main Line?
Go with a stronger leader line if you’re concerned with abrasion Go with a weaker leader line if you’re concerned with line visibility and castability. Either the mainline or leader line strength should exceed the rod’s rated strength. Selecting the right strength for your leader is a trail-by-error process.
Does a
spoon lure
need a swivel?
Normally, a spoon should be fluttering through the water, not spinning, so a swivel should not be needed However, if you’re retrieving too fast, or the current is very strong, then your spoon may start spinning, thus spinning your line, and increasing the chance you’ll get knots and tangles.

Do leaders scare fish?
Do Wire Leaders Scare Fish? As many leaders are coated or come in dark, low visibility colors, they do not seem to scare the fish you target I have run many experiments where I fished for predators with both thick fluorocarbon leaders and wire leaders, and the results were exactly the same on both materials.
Can fish see leaders?
Fluorocarbon Leader Lines It doesn’t reflect the sunlight like monofilament so the fish are not able to see the line and makes your lure/bait look like its naturally floating or moving through the water.
Can your leader line be the same as your main line?
A leader line is a separate piece of fishing line that connects your main fishing line to your hook or lure Generally speaking, your leader line will take the abuse from fish and underwater structures/rocks and not your mainline because your leader line is closest to the bottom and is in the fish’s strike zone.
Can I use fluorocarbon line as a leader?
Still, the truth is that you can absolutely use regular fluorocarbon lines as leader material.
What fishing line is better mono or fluorocarbon?
Over the long term, fluorocarbon is extremely resistant to the elements as well, unlike monofilament Overtime, U.V. rays, rain and humidity, and extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) can cause monofilament to break down and lose strength. Fluorocarbon is much more resistant to these conditions over the long term.
Why use a swivel on a fishing line?
The main purpose of the swivel is to allow the two line sections to rotate independently of each other , which allows self-unwinding of any twists formed during line casting and retrieval, preventing undesirable tanglings.
What is a double jig?
