In many situations, you will be fine without using a leader, but there are
times when a leader will help you get more fish onto the shore. In very
clear water, some anglers will use a fluorocarbon leader. A fluorocarbon
leader is almost impossible to see when it is submerged under water.
This will help you present a more natural-looking bait. You can tie your
own leaders with a uni-knot or you can buy pre-packaged leaders from a
bait and tackle shop. For those toothy-critters, a steel leader or heavy
monofilament leader will be necessary to keep them from cutting your line
and getting away.
