Alright I had a better outing last weekend. I tied on small jigs with small trailers and it worked textbook. Found them where I expected them (with FFS) put it on them, took my time, and hooked a nice small mouth.

Unfortunately, my leader knot came loose before I could get him in the boat.

So I have to look up the knot videos, especially tying line to line. But that leads to my question, how often should I be retying my leader line?
