WHAT IS THE MAIN BENIFIT FOR USEING FLOUROCARBON LEADER ,,OVER JUST TIEING OFF TO A HOOK,,I AM USEING DACRON ON A TIPUP,,THANKS

The fish will not see your line as easy with a flourocarbon leader.

I use a 14lb test floro leader on half of my tip ups for the last few weeks and I feel like I am getting more flags with them. I will be switching all of my tip ups over this weekend. I will be going to 20 or 25 lb leader because I have been getting broke off quite a bit with the 14lb.

flouro has very minimal stretch, and has virtually same light transmissivity as water...index of 1.0...theoretically making it " invisible".

[mattg]

extremely low visibility, low stretch, and high abrasion resistance

Stealth is the main benefit as some fish are leader shy. Some do well without it, for me it has become a standard.

Abrasion is my main reason,i had broke off with big bass on "ice line" mostly due to stretch so for the past 3 years always flouro.STRONG LIKE BULL!

[jmatile]

What lb test do you guys run?

That's a real good experiment for someone that may be skeptical about the fluoro.

[Rebelfisher]

I love light setups so I run 6lb except on my larger tipups for pike, which I run 12lb

[jammer icecube]

12lb for me...

Floro also sinks as opposed to mono which wants to float.
