Do I spend $100 a year for a few spools of Seaguar, or $8 every 2 years for a 1/4# spool of clear Ande 40?

My canal leaders are 18 inches long.I was buying triple fish flouro from cabela's @ 27.99 per 100 yd spools.One of the only things I buy from the mail order walmart type stores.100 yds should last most fisherman a season..
It's funny how guys fish with gear that will total over 1500 with waders an they won't spend 30 dollars a yr on leader,..
If it saves me one custom plug I am ahead of the game..
I had over 700 lbs of fish in a mad frenzy on 7-5..I had all of the fish on one plug an one leader.Draggin 25-30 lbers around rocks the whole time.I don't need any convincing..Seems everytime I go away from what has worked well for me in the past few years it was thru something I read on the internet an it cost me..I have total confidence in my gear from my reels thru the clips I use.I now it's limitations.I think this is as important as anything..U can use what u like just don't ask it to do something it cannot..
