How long is your leader? Or do you even use one. I've been considering the same thing.

I don't use one, haven't notice any difference it the amount of bites I get.

 

Edit* That kind of doesn't make sense since I said I can see the line better. I guess I'm trying to say that I don't think it has had a negative impact on the amount of bites I get. I hope that makes sense LOL. If not, I apologize.

I use floro for all my plastics, except when flipping heavy cover.  Floro is clear in clean water, super sensitive, abrasive resistant, with very little stretch for rock hard hook sets.  I don't like tying leaders.  I am a devote line watch and often dead stick with slack for a natural fall, so being a line watcher is very important.  You will see the line jump or move way before feeling it through the rod.  It has worked for me for decades.

Most fluoro lines do stretch, but they do not go back when pressure is released. It's why I don't use fluoro at all.

I disagree, I have used floro for at least 20 years and it has little stretch, and very sensitive.  Use it for all plastics unless flipping heavy cover where I use 60 pound braid.  But everyone is entitled to their opinion!

100%, that's why I use yellow Power Pro. IT's really easy to see when it ticks/moves.
