I've used Fireline for years, love it. For most of those years, I've tied direct, even with spinning rod. I know a lot of you will say this is a wrong way to do it, but I didn't have any negative results, had no fewer fish than those around me, and often more (not necessarily because of tying direct). Now, I'm using a shock leader, mostly to keep from cutting my hands on braid while landing fish. I like to tie direct with a reverse Albright, as I hate reeling the swivel thru my tip-top and casting the ring out of the guide. Maybe I'll use a larger swivel. Any thoughts on this?
