I do the same thing , but Im starting to use the leaders more. I use 50 lb flourocarbon because it is tough and nearly invisible in the water. I found when you get in the fish you dont have to stop and re-tie as often or worry about breaking off. I had one leader on a cork I fished for over a year before I had to re-tie .
