i usually use a floro leader 60 or 80# test about 6-8' long

[whitey]

I fish 20 feet of 80lb flourocarbon tied straight to my my spectra.

[pitch bait]

Im by no means a Guru But I use the same as Whitey but mine is longer 40' of 60lb. I like the no stretch in the Spectra, but I like 40' cause when they get squirley at the boat I want my line to have some give to help keep that hook in there mouth.

No swivel?

[whitey]

No swivel?

No swivel at all. Tie the leader straight to the spectra and then the other end of the leader direct to the jig.

Thanks, I just bought a spinner for jigging and that will make casting it alot easier.

I start with about 20 ft or so of 60-80 flouro. bimini to bristol straight to braid, never had problems. like 20 ft so i can retie comfortably throughout the day changing jigs or after fish and not have to redo a line to line connection on the boat
