We were fishing on the bottom and he had braid all of the way to the hook. I had braid also, but I had an egg weight and had the braid tied to a swivel. I then had a 20lb fluoro leader from the swivel to the hook. We were all fishing the same rig with live cocahoes, but he had braid to the hook and wasn't catching crap.

In off colored water i don't think it makes a difference. But i have had my butt handed to me till i tied on a floro. leader.
