Flourocarbons and trolling?

I know that the flourocarbon (Seagur) stuff is popular with the shore guys and the livebait fishing. But how about when dragging a tube-n-worm, or umbrella rig? At close to $30.00 for a 25 yard spool of 60-80lb stuff, is it a worth while investment? To go even further, how about using it as the leads for the umbrella rig?
Thanks....

Thumbs down Leaders

Charter boats use strictly mono leaders with great sucess so I would say not worth the extra cost for trolling.

I say spend the dough on 100 yards of 80 lb Jinkai or however you spell it. Don't waste $ on flouro for that application.
