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.
