    Got some 10# power pro yellow today for jigging. My questions is, do you guys tie your jig directly to the line or use a leader?

    I tie right to the jig and use a polymer knot

    Thanks, I’ll give it a go without then switch to a leader if nothing is happening. Love PP 10#, just never used hi-viz. We’ll find out how it is tomorrow.

    If you are pitching to a lot of rock and rip rap i feel a leader is almost a must on the river. Zebra muscles vs braid….zebra wins all the time. If there isn’t a ton of rock or rip rap then i tie direct

    Those worms and the zoom tiny fluke were my best baits this year. They absolutely crushed them.

    I love hi vis PP for many different things. I think the lighter stuff knots too easily for me. I run 15# or 20#. I do like the palomar knot. I use hi vis on the river and have never found the fish are shy to it. Maybe on crystal clear lake but fish have a brain the size of a Pea.

    I used it today, got to fish about 5 minutes before they opened the lock and blew us out for no reason what so ever. Caught a little white bass and he hit it hard, so I guess he didnt see the line.
