Mono leader

#1 Post by jono,b »

Guys, whats your views on a mono leader? Is it a must? Has anybody noticed difference is hooks ups with or without one?

Yeah, I just realised that I wrote mono instead of fluorocarbon.

So yeah same question with regard to fluorocarbon.

I use fluoro . Used to use mono and never noticed any difference in catch rates. but to be honest hard to tell unless catching numbers consistently. Won't cost much for a spool of fluoro if it gives you confidence though and it'll last ages
