cheaper alternative to flourocarbon ???
I just finished going thru my 3'rd spool of seaguar flouro. At 17 bucks a pop it's starting to add up and the rocks in the canal can really chew it up. I'd rather be spending the money on plugs.
At this point I am almost exclusively fishing at night so I don't think that visibility is really an issue, so I am not sure I even need to be using the flourocarbon.
Does anybody have a cheaper leader material other than wire that they like and will hold up reasonably well ?? Also I need to be able to break it when I get hung up, so the pound test has to be 40 to maybe 50...

Ande also makes a fluro which is cheaper than Seaguar.
Ande = $27 for 50 yards
Seaguar = $20 for 25 yards
Ande Fluro
Ande also makes 50 yd skeins of mono leader material for $4.50

Its nice to have in the plastic holders as you can bring it along in case you don't have enough leaders tied up in advance. |

Use big game 30,40,or 50. Don't believe what anyone says about flouro being better than standard mono, because it isn't. It may give you an advantage in clear, shallow water in the daytime, but the advantages end there.
