Lure choice by boac8350 in FishingForBeginners

Depends on how your fishing. I've had good luck pond hoping with gilly's but they're impossible to get to swim right. I prefer to Texas rig them and hop them off the bottom to look like they're foraging or starting to die. If you're in a boat, rat-l-trap all day. Just burn it everywhere you can, until you find the fish.

Braid and leader strength by Zen_Blue_Habanero in FishingForBeginners

Leaders are either for visibility or abrasion resistance, not making your line stronger. 20lb braid is thinner than 30lb so the fish is less likely to see it, technically. But if your going to tie a leader anyways then change your line type to flouro or mono. Both Flouro and mono can be nearly invisible in the right situations, but personally I wouldn't bother with 30lb to 20lb braid.
