To each his own. There is nothing wrong with using steel leaders invented 200 years ago with few significant technological improvements over the last century.
It does work, and it has been proven.
Propeller planes will get you there too .......
BUT ...... There may be an opportunity to try new technology that will provide some significant advantages .....
1) More supple and flexible
2) superior kink resistance
3) superior dynamic break strength (mass/dia)
4) superior static break strength (mass/dia)
5) lower stretch
6) superior abrasion resistance
7) generally easier to tie/rig up etc...
8) less visible to fish - some would argue it lowers "rejection" rates
9) you can grab the leader with a thrashing fish without getting cut up
10) the fish is less likely to cut itself up when it "death rolls"
Give it a shot ............ 100% of the people I know, and I fish with, who have tried fluorocarbon leader prefer it. This might be 15-20 people.
Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.
This material has also been proven to last and perform.
