I'm thinking to switching to braid since i have been fishing thick vegetation with 12lb mono (snapping traps out of grass, punching matts, and pulling things like chatter baits and stick baits though it) with no problem but am really scared of breaking off when i use frogs. Therefore, i plan on making this switch soon but I want to know how does the action of a lure, let's say a senko be affected by a leader vs straight braid? Also, can a monofilament leader be used? What is the easiest knot to learn and what is the strongest knot to use when conncecting braid to floro?

I've thrown pleanty of frogs and they will either swipe or miss it, but i've also tried wacky rigging a senko/ weightless but i gotta try that technique it sounds juicy I've tried a fluke a couple of times but never got a bite, would you recommend it weighted?

89% sure it is bass, 1. We have been catching a couple dinks 2. The ones that have been completely surfacing are 3-4lb largies and some nice 2-3 lb smallies. Although we do see some carp and trout surface at times They just swipe are frogs a couple of time and never commit. What kind of jig would you recommend?

Hi everyone, so lately at my home lake in Colorado i have been fishing an area in the evening where the bass are surfacing very actively. It's in an area where there are a lot of weed and there is a thick plants right in way you need to cast. This seems to be a more common theme at this in recent years (surfacing fish with no caught fish) and i'm just curious if anyone of you could explain this/ give me some advice to catch them. I have used almost every technique i know of that can be used around weds aka top water, flukes, and soft plastics, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits as(There is an abundance of yellow perch, some bluegil, freshly stocked trout + bass, and supposivly shad)
