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?

I'm not sure but I will tell you Friday when I hopefully see you on the Mimi or Sat at the PUOSU I have been fishing 40lb mono getting a good bite for the most part but losing hooks and sinkers. I just tied a bunch of new rigs yesterday with 40lb flouro so I can see what I prefer I think the flouro will be better for a number of reasons. One less hook loss. Two more abrasion resistant. Three considering its a little stiffer less tangles to main line and will keep bait further from the sinker. Then again these suckers are in my head
I need to figure them out. Any help would be appreciated. I've only fished for them for a few years. I'm getting better but I still haven't dialed it in. I would like to have some explain to me the right bite. I pretty much seeing at everything
I'm a swinger baby!!!
