Just about everybody is using the flourocarbon leader trick these days,"Even with Mono.".Here's a question that I asked at the Bass fishing seminar this past January at the Cow Palace in Timonium,md. to George Accord,owner of Susquehanna Fishing Tackle in Lancaster Pa.I said,...George...I don't get it?You're saying we should use Flourocarbon leader so the fish doesn't see the line.George,if that's true that the fish is being fooled because he can't see the line,then why would it strike a gawdy looking lure with trebble hooks hanging from it that's much more noticeable than the line?George believes that the fish just won't strike the lure because they see the line from the lure .Well, I do no this,when I retrieve my lures with the rod tip high enough to keep the leader out of the water with surface lures,I get more strikes.When trolling offshore for big game ,it sometimes makes a difference when the lures are set on the outriggers to keep the leader out of the water also.
