    Default Leader

    what # test are you all running on your leaders? I ran out of 25# Fluorocarbon I have #20 Fluorocarbon, but didn't know if that would be heavy enough???

    Flouro in 20 will work fine. A few folks even go to 17.5 and few folks go all the way to 30#. Ill take the floro over the mono nowadays but thought I would never say that.

    I agree 20 or 25 is great. When I run a diver like a tru trip jet or a dipsy. I run 30 lb braid and a 20 pounds 6 foot leader just in case I get pushed into a shallow area. If my gear would hit bottom and snag I would only loose my leader and harnesses because the 20 pounds leader would break before the braid. You never know when Fishing contour lines when another boat will push you a little too close.
