MTC-

Crazy looking setup you have there. But you do well with it hu? I will ask about it at the local bait shop and see what they have. I really appreciate the information on that.

Rip Runner-

The guy who uses the 50' leader is a commercial fisherman who does very well with bass during the commercial season. I know I may draw lot of fire for that, but he is a heck of a bass fisherman and someone who causes me to rip my hair out at times! "Dammit! Is he hooked up again!" So when he speaks, I listen... !

That's part of the great thing of this board is the variety of techniques and tactics that we use can vary so widely. It's like with wireline jigging, some love to use a mono or fluro leader, while other swear by a direct tie. Guess that's part of what makes fishing so much fun.
