fluorocarbon vs. mono: Does it really matter?

Does a fluorocarbon leader REALLY make any significant difference when it comes to bass? When surf casting, I tend to get hung up quite a bit, and end up cutting the line at times (frustrating and expensive!) but it happens... I just use 50# Ande mono as a leader because its cheaper... I can bring myself to pay 15 dollars for 25 yards when I'm losing rigs... But if I knew that it REALLY made that much of a difference, I would just get it... is it a gimmick or is it that much less noticeable in the water? And if stripers are so line-shy, why the hell do they hit an umbrella with a wire frame?
