Just like Mr. Allen says, don't fix it if it ain't broke. But then if you're really broke do what Berkely says and find anything shiny and cheap. They all work just fine.

Rob,
Switch to braids for spinners and spoons you won't regret it. wink

wolverine,
Good points on the braids. There has been alot of good material and discussions previously posted on this topic for those that want to check it out.
I use a tippet for alot of reasons not least of which I don't like breaking off braids like you mention. But another is because mono is more abrasion resitant and is easier to cut and tie knots with at the terminal end. Also because I discovered the tippet can be used as an excellant indicator of the depth my lure is working. This is an advanced tip that heavy metal dudes can definately appreciate. I do not use it to disguise my leader as some guys like to wax on about. I've found that fish that bang metal aren't usually the shy types.

Iron Head,
Best thing you can do is fish with someone, like litlcleo, who really knows what they're doin'. You can really learn alot in a very short time. It's a beautiful thing. It certainly hepped me. wink
