BassDawg,
I tie direct when conditions dictate - bright moon, champaign water or when bass are just nudging the plugs or grabbing and dropping my eels. With the advent of braid not many do it anymore. I use 20 lb mono and tie direct when I need a subtle presentation. Tying direct can and does make a difference in certain scenarios - just have to be extra cautious when trying to land decent bass without a leader.
