i have had a hard time using just flouro on my shakey spinning reels--do you guys use a braid and a flouro leader on your shakey and dropshot rigs--if so what kind of braid is best and what type of flouro is best

What type of knot is used to tie the lines together

Albright Special...simple and strong.

Ok one more question. I have not ever had flouro on a spinning reel and it looks like you guys are saying to go braid and then a fluro leader. If thats the case how long of a leader are we talking? Just a normal leader like 1-3 ft or are we talking longer?

Imo, the length of the leader is entirely dependent on the water clarity that you are fishing. In stained, muddy water..a shorter leader (1.5-3 feet) will work just fine.

However in clear water, I like to go with at least a 4ft leader...anything longer and it's difficult to manage, unless of course you are fishing open water like with the Float n Fly or something similar where you will be casting into generally open water.

I always tie them on about 4-5 ft. on a spinning reel. If a casting I tie it so that when I am pitching the knot is just out side of top eyelet from where I normally have the bait when pitching. Which for me is about 3-4 turns up from my reel which just feels more natural for me.
When pitching, the knot coming through the eyelet sometimes messes you up so I try to keep it out of there.

Any brand of floro that you guys have found to better than the rest? Anything work better for spinning reels than other brands?

I dont know about spinning reels as I dont use them, but Ive used Invizx a good while now and love it but hate the price. I tried Red Label the other day for the first time (I was cranking) and it preformed as well as Invizx. I dont know, it might fail me but so far Im pleased. $10 a spool, its as cheap as mono. I still dont know how it will handle heavy cover.
