I recommend 20lb steel leader in black.. seems to weigh a litlle bit lighter than the steel colored leader and wont affect the lure... I throw poppers, inlines, spinners, broken backs, etc... and it doesnt change the action trust me....

Just earlier today I caught a monster Pike (approx 36-38". 9-10lb) and it swallowed the lure and line was in the teeth and did not break... I was using 30lb power pro.. this stuff is amazing.... I was going for smallies otherwise I would of had a leader... but the power pro braid does the job...
