What length of leader to braided line?

Post by garret1990 » Wed May 13, 2009 5:06 pm

I just bought braided line so I hope it helps when I bottom fish but the problem is how much leader in length should I use for mono to tie at the end of my line when I'm both fishing with lures and on bottom? Thanks for all help!
