Over the weekend I spooled one of my reels with braid for the first time to try it out. Being a complete rookie with braid, I’m trying to find out how to rig it - knots, leaders, etc. Reading the knot thread plus some internet searches I think I’ll try the FG or 6 turn surgeon knot to tie a leader to the braid. From my searches, there seams to be less and conflicting information on leader length to tie to the braid. The pro’s and con’s I’ve seen are getting a long leader to separate it from the braid for visibility reasons and also issues with knots going through the rod guides. Is anyone willing to share some thoughts and experience for what has worked well for them or what to avoid? I primarily plan to fish jigs, swimbaits, and rapalas with this set up. Thanks in advance!
