Mono Leaders Vs Florocarbon Leaders

[Sharphooks]

AMEN !!!!

It’s interesting that the Fluorocarbon abrasion-resistance urban myth grew so big and took in so many people and made them reach for their wallets and spend their hard earned money on a line that’s almost double the price of tried-and-true mono.

Nothing like a myth-buster to step in and sober people up to the fact that hype walks softly and carries a sharp gaff

I would say that floracarbon stands up much better then mono when running a stinger hooks... the back hooks wont break off as fast as any mono...that being said just as Sharphooks I have moved over to a braid for my anchovy leader hooks....

Is the braid tied using a snell knot? Thanks.

Interesting, do you use mono for the rest of the leader and tie on the lead hook with a normal clinch knot to the eye? Do you find the red braid makes a difference as an attractant?

That's exactly what came to mind... way faster for re sets and a organized way of holding multiple tie ups, game changer..
I've seen some of the out of the box thinking tie ups that guy does always surprises me, just never know it all.. how many lb braid are you guys using

 

[nootkaassassin]

Do any guys add any jewelry (beads or sleeves) to their stinger set up

 

[Derby]

I've been running braid on my stinger since 2012 when I helped out at Sunds. All the guides did as it a game changer for sure. Until the really big ones take the whole anchovy head and all and bite thru the leader. Happened twice this year once with mono and once with fluro

In that case why not tie up a whole leader with it? Or a 6" tag you could clip to? Not that I would do this.

Pretty sure a the braid would unravel with the action of the teaser head. Ask me how I know that
