    I use 15# Flouro for my leader on my c-rig with braid as my mainline. The Flouro knot is that shaw Grigsby knot that he has on you tube. My braid is a palomar knot. I tie the leader with the hook and swivel first and then tie that setup to the braid. I also use the offset straight shank hook as opposed to the ewg hooks.
    The main reason I use Flouro is because of its ability to virtually disappear in water.
    I don't like braid for anything but spinning rods and when I c-rig with my baitcasters.
    Since I don't use Flouro as a leader without using a swivel I don't tie the lines direct to each other. When I do that with mono and Flouro I use blood knots.

    I use this setup on my baitcaster. I use about 4 feet of berkly vanish fluorocarbon and I think some sort of berkly pro braid.i use my own connecting knot. It's pretty much 2 clinch knots pushing against each other and the more its pulled the tighter the knot gets. I personally just use the fluorocarbon or mono that I have around as my leaders. Hope,you can use this info -drew

    I have used braid and fluorocarbon line for the leader material and tie with double uni knot. I have broken the leader many times when I get hung up and have never had the knot fail.

    Do you just use it for Carolina rigs or while tossing a Crankbait too?

    my thought was to use it with my Crainkbait while throwing around stumps and whatnot.

    I use both fire line and power pro on my surf rods. A uni to uni knot connects those to the floro leader.

    I use it on spinning reel and fish 3 inch curl tail grubs for smallmouth and I use it on a baitcaster with a jig and pig or a worm it is very sensitive I use a softer rod when I fish this set up.
