I got destroyed in the rocks by a bass last time I was on Cutty. Needless to say it broke off.

I typically use a 3-5 foot leader with 50# ande mono, crock swivel, and a snap.

I'm hoping to try a longer leader with a direct tie from braid to mono. Can some of you share what you use. (feet, type of leader, knot....picture of knot if possible)

Hitting BI next week and I want to try something different out.

I know many of you will say that using braid in the rocks is the main problem but I ain't changing. I do use back country alot but use braid whenever possible.

Thanks for your help.
