Re: Changing leaders on braid
The abuse the knot takes going through the rod guides is often underestimated. 6 ft is long. Try using a shorter leader so the knot enters and exits the guides less. Otherwise I'd change after every trip. It's still more cost effective than losing lures and fish.
The connection knot you are using really doesn't matter for Sweetwater. Uni to uni, albright, alberto... whatever knot you can tie best and have the most confidence in is what I'd recommend. Youll never have to apply 15 plus pounds of pressure on a largemouth so breaking strength of the knot matters little. Snags are a different story obviously.
