If I was to go out bass fishing all day on my folks lake, you bet I would have a floro leader tied on my braid! the water is very clear and full of zebra mussels and even 20LB braid on it's own comes up looking like Shrek just used it in his teeth. however, walleye fishing I use it 1/2 the time as a leader. I tried it as a mainline on my new Stradic FJ and it just would not stay on the spool so I know I won't try that ever again. braid, braid and more braid with a hint of floro for me...
