Braid to Mono

[Skip]

I use about 6-8 feet with singles and about 5 and 10 with tandems.

I tie a Sampo BB swivel to braid - then a leader if single or three way swivel if tandem.

It's quick and easy to retie new short leaders.

I like 60 lb clear Ande. I'll cut and retie lure knot often and check first 2-3 feet of leader after each fish. Any chafe at all - I cut it off.

1/4 spool lasts all season. I use a beer huggee with lb test in magic marker - 1/4 lb spool fits perfect.

Keeps it from unspooling all over deck plus protects line from UV damage.
