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.

I use 50 Lb Ande pink or 60 lb Ande green. One big spool lasts about 3 years and costs less than $10.

I'm back to 50# mono. I also do not see a difference at night using the flouro and that's the only time I fish.

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.

90% of the time i use 50 lb big game. Although i am going to try some of that suffix siege or that back Country stuff... its supposed to be stronger around rocks.
That Orvis Mirage flouro stuff is the best.. I dont like flouro becuase its hard to tie good knots with it due to its stiffness, but on the otherhand, The only reason i would use flouro at night would be for its abrasion ressistance.
