Default Re: Blackfish leader shy?

I'm reading a lot of good responses here and it seems that everyone has one or more setups for catching tog that they're comfortable with regarding main line types, top shot lengths, leader material, what pound test they're comfortable with, etc. The main topic of Bulletbob's post was whether or not tog are line shy and if there's an advantage to using flourocarbon leader material at the hook versus mono. I have switched to using flourocarbon for my rigs as recommended to me by guys who swear by it and produce fish, but I have seen some big tog taken on straight mono by fishermen as well. Is it worth it to spend the extra dough on the flouro, or is using mono at the hook just as effective?
