EZ13,

I too use braid, only I use spider wire. I use plain mono on the leader. You don't need the flour. as you usually are deep, plus the mono leader has stretch. I use 17 lb. mono for my leader.

As for the hanging up on rocks.... a couple of tips:

when fishing rocks, kind of hop your bait along the bottom more than drag it, or as you start to feel it hang, hop it then.

Use lindy no snag weight.

Finally, I use the smallest size for the most weight, this usually means using tungsten weights. They cost more, but hang up less.

I guess that last one wasn't finally, cuase I just thought of another, in rocks, switch to a smaller weight. for instance, I usually use a 1 oz weight, but if I am fishing strictly rocky areas, I will go to a 1/2 oz, or even a 1/4 oz if it is shallow.

Good luck,

Danny
