Angler preference.
Why do stores sell you mono instead of steel when the blues are around? 'Cause you'll buy it
- seriously, you shuld buy both but it's also cheaper to buy good hooks seperately from pre made rigs. You can put on wire when the gators are in and keep the mono lines when it's just bass...
I'm in the group that much prefers mono over steel for bass and I'll often still fish a heavy mono leader if blues are around.
Oh, and before you start complaining about the costs of hooks & fishfinders, try eelfishing for big gals when a school of blus shreds them up
