The latter seems to be personal preference though. For live bait I prefer spectra though. This is where the spectra/fluoro connection comes in handy. I can change line size, add a bead and egg sinker for a carolina rig and bust through kelp if I need to. This is the method that I have found to work for me, but what do I know, I'm a dumbass  |
I guess I'm a dumbass too as I have mono on my jig stick and spectra with a 5' fluoro leader on my trolling rods for the same reasons you do.
