this is one of those topics i am kinda "on the fence" on. some would say "if you have the money, then by all means, pay for flourocarbon;" others would say, that blue marlin are so damn angry and mean that they do not have a preference for leader material. all i can say is this, i do not rig my tuna leaders (15' for 130# flouro) with anything BUT flouro. and when grouper fishing (specifically targeting grouper with live baits or a bigass butterflied mackerel or the like). as for my billfish leaders though, momoi mono does just fine.

I remember whenflouro firststarted hitting the shelves and leaving the shelves at a phenominal rate when I worked at J&M.But,we also remember the first unbiased article doing visual underwater tests by divers in 80' visability doing pass overs with different flouros' and monofilaments and the results showed flouro's beingMORE visible than some mono's like jinkai and momoi.

All you could say after reading such an article was damn, sucks for them(flouro guys). But hell no, not even a decline in sales withthe futuredynasties. Articles and reports on flouro shortly after the unbiased article seemed so $ influenced claiming such a perfect product. It was funny butsickening at the same time. I still believe in that first report on the stuffand dont believe the product haswent throughsomemajorchange since that test. It is what italways wasfluorocarbon.
