Uni to Uni from spectra to flouro... or be lazy and use a Swivel like me (lost a nice c-bass recently to using a swivel, maybe a bad idea...) the nice thing about rigging this way is the ease of switching to a different target by just changing out leaders, which can be premade at home.

just my $0.02

Now that is some great advice right there! what is 65# in mono? 30lb? I usually like to use a swivel too but i dont like having more than one knot so i normally use a carolina keeper.Cant use a floro leader with that setup tho.

How far out do you troll the live bait? 50 yards?
Ill be getting a yoyo setup as well but cant cast those basitcasters so ill be using a shimano baitrunner like this

Would that still work ok for jigging?
