just purchased 200 yds
intending to use it as leader line to float trout dough off the bottom because, so far, I havent caught any trout with the braid or mono ive tossed in
smaller hooks, less dough, fluoro - am i on the right track?
no need to spool up a whole reel of the stuff is there? just use it as leader? best knot to join the leader to mainline? |

Fluoro doesn't float. Well, sometimes surface tension will keep it on the surface.
I prefer a J-knot to tie fluoro leader to braid.

What kind of fluoro? Pline makes a good brand.

I really like P-Line Fluoroclear, which is a fluorocarbon co-polymer line, and is very inexpensive. I just tried a $40 spool of 10 pound test Seaguar Tatsu and hate it. It has a lot more memory than even 15 pound test Fluoroclear.
For fluorocarbon leader material, I really like those tiny spools of Yozuri Disappearing Pink. I use 20 pound test for striper fishing with 3/4 ounce jigheads and six inch soft plastics, and it holds up really well.
