Flouro Leader

[fishbones]

I have 20 and 30 pound Seaguar, but once it's gone I'm switching my lower pound tests to Ande leader material. I already use it for 40 and 50 pound leaders and haven't had any issues to date.

Thanks for all the feedback. On the boat I use Ande 60 mono, I used to fish the sandy beaches more and used Ande 30 mono or Segaur 30. Last few years have come down with a bad case of the "ditch-itis" and tried both Ande 40 mono and Seagaur 40. I dont really believe it makes a difference there on clarity issues, but found the flouro was more abrasion resistant. I do pre tie all my leaders and pay attention to knots and really setting them correctly while at home as the flouro can be a little tricky to cinch down correctly 100%of the time.

To Typhoon who runs wire straight - I am sure it works really well but for me the forgiveness / shock absorbsion / handling of the mono it makes it safer easier to land fish plus I think a few wraps around the spool keeps the springiness down. FYI I jig the rod so no glove like the jiggers use...

Call me crazy but i tried Flouro when it first came out. Spent a small fortune on the stuff and never noticed any difference in my hook up or landing ratio.

For the record I use nothing but Ande Clear in 50# for leaders and I never ever loose a fish because of line or knot failure.

Me too. 50lb for plug or full moon. 80lb for bait.

Joe fishes Floro right next to me and we are usually about even (unless he is plugging while I am throwing candy bar's in May....)
