Mono will have a better hook up percentage than a leader or braid any day of the week.
great info everyone, when you say "The stretch on a line to line leader wouldn't be there with mono" - i thought mono was the stretchiest line out there?what's the stretch factor like on flouro? Maybe I just watch too many fishing channel commercials, but I was under the impression that flouro was the best no stretch, invisible line around? if not, why is it so pricey?i'm still leaning towards braid backed, flouro leader - anyone else want to weigh in on this?
