Leader on braid?

[CorkieB]

All my saltwater setups are 30lb power pro slick 8 to rod length of 20lb trilene big game mono. Connect them with a reverse Albright knot. I mainly use the mono as a shock leader because when throwing large baits like super spooks and corkeys far as you can a backlash will cause the lure to break off and them things aint cheap. It also helps if a big fish makes a hard run. The bad thing about fluro is it doesn't make as slim a knot as mono does and doesn't go through the rods eyes as well in my experience. Fluro also sinks and will drag the head of a topwater down not allowing it to walk as easy. If I fished in super clear water a lot I would probably use fluro more and this way my setups can be more versatile and I don't have to carry but 2 or 3 rods.
