Knotless tapered Flourocarbon leaders, I've never had luck using straight mono for a leader. 12lb is the lowest I would go and 20lb would be the max.

20# mono or flouro, fluoro sinks better than mono. Make sure it's clear if had stripers not hit because I had blue line for a leader.

20 pound Mono when fishing a beach or estuary. Occasionally I'll use Fluro if fishing a flat but my success rate Flats fishing is not good.

Charlie,
The leader I start with is about 9 feet. When the leader get's down to about 6 feet I change it out. Whenever I use anything less than 20 pound test it seems I lose fish in the wash. |

Thanks Rich. I agree with the 20 lbs., but a couple of guys we know prefer 15lbs. |
