    Braid for Shakey Heads or Texas-Rigged Chigger Craw?

    Curious if anyone here uses braid without leaders for either of those applications?

    I think as a general rule, just account for the zero stretch of the braid...possibly means upsizing hooks (so they dont straighten out) and/or going with a softer rod, if desired.....and give your partner a head's up if you get snagged and start pulling
