my 2 cents
Some lures, mainly walk the dog types will need a short leader of mono to keep the line out of the front hooks. With popping style lures I don't use a leader but I do use a loop knot to improve action. You will have many more strikes than hook ups but that is part of the fun of topwater fishing.

Love me some Power Pro.
Agreed on leader and I use a short stretch of heavy flouro to give a stronger loop and, more importantly, a stiffer connection to avoid hanging up on the hooks.
Gotta read that FS info. Thanks

BD, I read the FS thread & it really is great stuff. It sure is obvious when somebody really knows their stuff & reminds me (again) that being good at fishing takes a lifetime.
