8 pound braid to smallest duolock available, with a 3/4 ounce weight above the duolock. Then we make up 36" leaders using 4 pound fluorocarbon, snap them to the duolock, and push jigs.
MUCH less blowback with braid than any mono.

Kinda what I do, but my reels with braid have 20-30lb braid (line counters & baitcast reels) .... but, I'm not Spider Rigging with them, I'm Pushing jigs or cranks. When using jigs, I have barrel sinkers of the appropriate weight on the main line - then a bead - then a duo-lock snap - then a 18-24" leader of 6# mono - then a jighead. For the cranks on the line counter reel outfits ... the braid is tied directly to the duo-lock snap - then the 2oz in-line trolling weight is snapped onto it - then the 5' leader of 6# mono - another duo-lock snap - then the crank. (my 2oz in-line trolling weights & leader w/snap are pre-made and wrapped around a section of pool noodle - the noodle is split down one side & the weight is inserted into that slit, then the leader is wrapped around the noodle and the snap is open and stuck into the noodle to secure the wrap)Originally Posted by T_om
I haven't yet, but fully intend to do the weight/leader/snap or weight/leader/jighead wraps on noodle sections with some of the lesser weights I received in my gift bag at the Spring Fling @ Green, that were donated by Bullet Weights. I received the Mr Crappie Troll Tech 1/4oz & 3/4oz weights, which will be used mostly when Pushing jigs, Road Runners, or small cranks. I'll reserve the 2oz weight rigs for the larger cranks (like 100-200-300 Bandits).
Having the weight/leader/snap or jighead wraps readily available means less time & energy spent fumbling around in the tackle bags for the component parts ... and having your attention diverted from the rods still in action.
