TO LEAD OR NOT TO LEAD

I love fishing light tackle between the bricks for galjoen,blues,jbs etc,and before I stated using this forum i never used a leader,but lately I have been and when I hook up I am breaking off at the Knot,whats concerning me is i am dumping a lot of line into the sea,no mater what knot i am using.I think I must go back to my old ways,i.e. no leader,thinner line on sinker trace and slightly thicker on hook trace

Whatever works for you.

I use casting braid between the bricks, so I have to use a leader, but since using braid I have gone from average 10 breakoffs to about 1 a session.

Just a bit of useless info.

Is your knot making a pigtail where it broke ?

If it is then the knot pulled !

Know what you mean but no its snapping,can hear it when it goes.Maybe my wording was wrong my main line is snapping leaving behind the leader,@MANGImaybe braid is the answer

maybe you need to lube up your knots a lil bit more. also when pulling your knots tight trying pulling it slowly together as this prevents abrasion..

just my 2c..
