Leaders on topwater baits

[CorkieB]

I use the mirro lure loop knot on my leader (30 lb braid to 20 lb mono). I find it to be the easiest loop knot to tie but it will not hold on anything less than about 15 lb mono. I have never had it fail but with loop knots you have to check them every so often. I find that mono makes a slimmer line to leader knot than flouro and goes through the eyes better and does not cause the head of a top water to drag.
