Braid help

[pugwash]

Just got myself some braid for my fixed spool as I haven't used it before am not sure if I need to put shock leader on. The braid is 20lb and I was going to use it straight through but not sure so advice is needed

Yes put a shock leader for castng unless your just dropping over the side but even then I still would have some on incase you had to lift a decent fish up pier wall as the braid will cut into ur hands being so fine

Cheers m8. It's only for fishing for flats so ill not be casting to far.
