I’m using a 15lb braid on a rod with a size 6 tip guide. It seems I can’t tie any sort of leader knot without it getting stuck in the top guild or giving me a bad cast. I usually use 30lb fluorocarbon leader, but it just seems any knot gets stuck. I don’t want to waste anymore money, so would y’all suggest a 20 or 25 lb leader, and how long? I just don’t want anything that affects my casting distance or technique.

WP,you can downsize your leader diameter.I normally use the same pound test,or less than the main line. I would rather have the leader break on a snag,than the main line.

Hi, 15lb. braid to 30lb. leader makes no sense. I can see it the other way around. But if it is like you say, than reduce the size of the leader to something like 15 or 17lb. I'm a SoCal bass man. On the water 3 days a week. Can't imagine ever using 30lb. for any condition.
