Changed my leader material from fluorocarbon to monofilament yesterday and immediately noticed the difference. The mono has more stretch, which actually helped me land a feisty smallmouth that would have thrown the hook otherwise.
Sometimes we overcomplicate things. Fluorocarbon isn’t always the answer.
When Mono Beats Fluoro
Topwater presentations, aggressive fish, light line situations—mono’s stretch acts as a shock absorber. Worth keeping both in your tackle bag.
Quick switch, better results. Try it this weekend.
