Absolutely definitely both! I keep a selection of all sorts in the bag, depending on the lakes I fish. Hardish bottoms I use stiff or snakeskin links and on softer I use braid.

Just to keep my options open I nearly always fish one rod with a simple 12/15lb fluorocarbon link as well. To be completely honest, I have not found one rig consistently outfishes any other. Now my hooklengths are mostly down to to other factors such as casting distance etc.

got to agree with RAF.
i have tryed every rig thats ever been bulished and a few that aint.and keep coming back to my old nylon hook links but with a very fine hair.
