They are Reef water coast shoes! I wear a lot of hey dudes and they feel very similar to them but they are perfect for the boat cause they have drain holes in case you have to get your feet in the water.
Typically I throw 10-15 lb braid on my reels. As far as leader, I usually use at least 30lb when fishing for Snook. I used to only use Flourocarbon but starting to use 30lb mono now since it’s more abrasion resistant than flouro.
@@stephend3494 Mono might be a tad bit more visible than Flouro, but it doesn’t really matter if you are using a reaction style bait like a jerk bait or fluke style. Because they aren’t looking at it for a while, they are just reacting to it. If you’re throwing paddle tails or creature style baits and fishing really clear water I would throw Flouro because the fish look at the bait longer. If the water is a little stained or just not very clear then you can get away with mono.
@@stephend3494 Anytime, always happy to help! And I tend to throw more paddle tails from the Spring-Fall. Creature baits work well in the winter time. I usually use more creature style baits for redfish feeding on the bottom. But I’ll always use a paddle tail for snook as they are usually feeding on bait fish over shrimp and crabs. I’ll look at what kind of bait is around me and the activity I’m seeing to determine what kind of lure I’ll throw.
Let’s go fishin.!

Nice day out, and great job. What lb test are you using on most of your braid and leader rigs?

@@Captainjoshmartin thanks man. Any other pros or cons to mono as opposed to fluro? I always use fluro also, but is mono more visible or anything?

@@Captainjoshmartin thanks alot josh for being helpful. What is your main thing you look for to decide reaction type vs paddles and creatures?
