This is my first post, I have been fishing for nearly 50 years on and off, and to be honest always my own way ie. Partanosta 30 lbs line . I've decided to get back into it with my wife and have done loads of research so I can fish in a more recognised way, so just bought a surfblaster 2 and reaper2 rod

So first question please......I have never used a shock leader which I will try now, I have just filled the reel with 18 lb mono, and bought 60 lb grease weasle shock, BUT as I thought about it, why can't I use a 60lb braid shock leader as this would be thinner a flow of the feel easier, I 've not seen this mentioned anywhere yet does any do it this way around please?
