    No. Only if a light leader is needed.

    Only on one spinning rod.

    I do on all my spinning set ups, but i dont like using braid to fluro on my casting rods. I have tried braid to fluro on my casting rods and just don't care for it.

    Pretty much on every setup when fishing rocky waters.

    Only on spinning because all my spinning setups have braid. On the flipside none of my casting setups have braid on them. I hate braid on a baitcast reel and I hate line that's not braid on a spinning reel.

    Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

    I always use braid to leader on a spinning combo. The only time I will use it on a baitcaster is if i'm throwing a walking topwater and I do a short leader just to keep the hooks from getting tangled up in the stupid braid.

    On nearly every rod I own. The only ones I don’t use braid to floro with is when I’m using a frog or fishing very heavy cover.

    faster to swap baits, keeps the mainline intact so it lasts longer, etc.

    Yes, on every setup. It's rocky and clear here, with not much heavy cover. I do have to spool up a few reels with mono or fluoro for the beginnings and ends of the season here - I had some real problems with the braid freezing (Bonus: no backlashes though!).

    I don't use it on anything. Tried it a few years ago and hated dealing with it. I also don't think it's needed.

    On all my spinning and 80% of my casting. I use long leaders (20 foot), and I like that I can change out line constantly without going through spools of fluorocarbon. Tatsu at $60 a spool is easier to swallow when using it in 20 foot pieces.
