I have found that 99% of the time I use 25-30 lb Fluro, about 2-3' on a small barrell swivel, attached with a Palomar knot to 10-12 lb Spiderline/Fireline/Power Pro. If BIG blues are around, I will swith to very thin 5" 18lb test leaders with small snap swivels that the bass have no problem with. I get these at Sports Authority. I change them after about 15 fish as the wire gets kinked, and the bass definetly become leader shy then. During the day, I almost always use Fluor. I use Light Tackle exclusively, and fish primarily from shore or near shore in a boat.
