For me, just me personally I think is a confidence thing.

For example, a golfer who's got a good driver ie. mechanically and in its static appearence will often times out drive another golfer who's got a beat up set of clubs. Its not because the level of skill for either differs, its just that one has faith in his tools, or clubs rather.

The last thing a guy putting for a chance at a few million dollars on one putt wants to see is a scratched up p.o.s looking club. The guy who's got his nice new shiny club, making that putt for a few million, looks down to make his putt and his club is fine not all beat to heck.. he can concentrate on his putt and isnt distracted by how beat up it is.

If you feel it helps rock on with it. You only go through once, do it how you want.

I go mostly with mono, unless I'm fishing clear sandy areas etc which really isnt too often. I use it (flouro) during the day because well... It being daytime my confidence is down like the dude with the beat up club, and the flouro kinda boosts my conf. a bit. Not a big fan of day time fishing. if I luck into a deal with a 2 for one purchase for the flouro etc I'll pick it up, but I wouldnt say "I cant possibly fish tonight, the shops are closed and I'm out of flouro for leaders/eel rigs." Its how you want to go about it I guess.

Domination takes full concentration..

I use Seaguar almost exclusively. Just got into the habit. From shore compared to the past slightly better ratio, but in the boat bottom/bait fishing there has been a noticable difference in fish caught w/Seaguar as opposed to any other line used as leader material.
