I use braid on my smallmouth and finesse bass setups, but I'll connect a florcarbon leader to the braid mainline (I really like nanofil) with a double-uni knot. I see a lot of posts about folks using high visibility 15/4. Are you using a leader or are you tying braid directly to your jig when single pole fishing? Do you think the visibility of the braid costs you bites? With clear water I would almost always use a leader. But I'm not sure about the dingier stuff like the Arkansas River where I plan to fish this weekend.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
