Been mostly a braid guy except crankbaits which I use fluoro. Watching the boys at TacticalBassin and they use up to 20ft leaders on their baitcasting setups. I've been experimenting with leader length to see if I'm missing anything not using a leader or not. Problem is, I use Daiwa reels with T-wing system and the knot has a hard time getting thru the T-wing on the retrieve and onto the reel and also catches the last guide when pitching. Casting with a short leader not long enough to get to the reel is no problem. So what's your experience with this issue. BTW I use either a alberto knot or uni to uni, not sure I have the patience to learn the FG knot.
