I know a few who use the twisted leader and find it works well but for me i have just been using the knot shown on the vid link below to join my braid mainline to fluro leader and never had any issues. Pretty easy to tie too.

I'm going up to Kuatunu next week for a weeks fishing...........I have a Stabicraft 409 fisher 30h I want to Target Kings off the rocks and out of the boat on Stick baits and poppers................I have several Nomad poppers and stick baits............bobara's and dogtooth. I'm going to be casting 37kg braid and need help with my leader...........braid to fluoro? What is my best option? Wind on leader, Twisted Leader, Spider hitch and cats paw on to coastlock swivel then leaders crimped to popper for easy change of poppers. I'm really confused about what is my best option so I though I'd ask. I'm running the 37kg braid on a Daiwa Dog Fight and an Offshore 250gm (cts blank) popper rod.

my two cents worth....firstly nice combo you got there dood! Easiest way would be to tie a bimini double and then loop to loop with a wind on leader(5 or 6 metres...suffix wind ons))....I would use mono as it will sit on your spinning reel easier(supple trace black magic is ok)....Then  a shortish trace(heavier) after swivel 1metre to 1metre and half of either mono or flouro...flouro offers great abrasion resistance...not too long or it effects your casting.....Tie an open uni knot that is formed about a cm out...make sure its tight and good looking,better with mono...This will give some freedom to your popper and it will close on itself when you hook up...then undo and go again....You could crimp too,that would work nicely,use some tubing to protect wear on the line and popper and make a hoop,so you have freedom for the popper...Bloody strong split ring on end could work too..and you could change poppers easily too.I wouldnt use a coastlock swivel for poppering either...balack magic 15kg swivel would be good enough or a ball bearing swivel if you must...line twist isnt an issue with braid.....you could use without a swivel at all and just attach to your leader.
I do 60 turn bimini,which others might not but it hasnt failed yet and its a very tidy knot.
Good luck and have fun.poppering is awesome.

Very nice knot.. thanks for posting that link JK.

Can do the pics tonight or over the weekend if ya like Wazza. Unfortunately I don't work in a tackle store either lol so I'm not near my gear right now.

Jk's knot will work just fine. Wouldnt bother with Flourocarbon, just 3m of 80-120lb mono (something soft - Black Magic supple is good) attached to a high quality solid ring via a uni knot. Attach your popper/stickbait to this ring with a heavy duty split ring.

As I haven't hooked anythang on the CTS blank so far I'll have to get back to you on that...........if I do catch anythang I will include the preformance of the Rod in my report.

Casting wise you can put a popper out to 100-110 meters easy............I'm a very good caster. Of course wind would always play it's roll in the distances so they can very.........

Cheers for that Kaveman - never knew the name of the knot so always found it hard to explain to others lol

From the reading I have just done, the additional uni on top was added by Tony Pena to make the knot better suited to braid as he had some experiences of slipping without it.

Very nice JK...................thanks for all your help.

My stick baits and poppers are rigged with the hooks the same way.

Samoa in May but will be giving the kings a workout on it beforehand
