Been through all of these. There is a learning curve. But once you learn it, you'll love it. I don't fish with anything else. PP 15/4 for SMB and rivers.

No leader needed. At least for river bass.Trust me.

Good advice, been trying the double palomar knot for a cumulative of 20 hours fishing without fail. Sure is nice catching the fish I set my hook into.

Thanks,
