WHY LEADER SIZE IS IMPORTANT

[@gtr4ws]

What I tend to do is shorten my leader, less pressure in the water for fish to sense, but going down to a lighter weight leader makes a lot of sense, especially if you need leader length for for abrasion resistance. thanks for this tip

If using mono, I can get away with a shorter leader, but with braid, I would rather use a long thinner leader to separate the line and the lure more. If a shorter leader works for you, Then keep on using it, but if the fishing is tough, try a longer leader to help get more strikes.

Great video mate, what test braid were you using on the 10lb leader? Thanks

[@TheFishingKit]

The my spinning reel is filled with 0.6 and overheads with 0.8 - same leader size.

@@TheFishingKit is that mm ? what lbs is your braid. Thanks

[@dexterchu4549]

thanks for sharing this! i have a question though, if my braided (main) line is 16lbs with .187mm can connect a leader line rated at 12lbs and .29mm? im a noob at fishing and still learning. hehe

[@TheFishingKit]

You can if you want to, nothing and no one will stop you if you want to do that. Although it would be advisable to have a leader that is a bit over our line - this is the part of the system that takes the scratches and bumps. But in certain instances, you can fish with lighter leaders.

@@TheFishingKit i find the 20lb leader just a tad too thick. pls keep on making these videos. they are a big help. God bless sir

[@TheFishingKit]

@@dexterchu4549 16lb braid will overtest to around 20lb or over. As far as leaders go, you will find that there are 20lb ones that are relatively thin.
