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.

50# Big Game at night, lifetime supply for $7, well make that longtime supply.

I tried flouro and hated it. Not a question of cost , it just wasn't durable enough for my liking at the Canal. I tried Stren flouro which poeple say was crap but anyway , I like the Ande , tough stuff.
