What line for surface fishing?
hey everyone, i was just wondering what people are using for a leader when using walk the dog style lures?
I found that with flourocarbon they tend to sink a little thus making it harder to "walk" Thanks

I've used cheap big W mono, about $4 for a million meters (maybe not that much) and have had no problems.
I got over carrying around 10 different spools of leader, so I'm just using normal fluro (4-6lb), around 1m long and find my lures do sink a little bit due to the sinking nature of the line, but they still work. Might give that sunline stuff pig' was on about, looks ok to me.

I just use normal fluro... Never noticed any problems even when fishing little stuff like scumdogs and px45s.
