    Are the small spools of Fluoro, that say leader line the same as the larger 200 yd. spools of Fluoro the same line ?

    Yes sir. They just offer them in smaller packages because flouro can get pricey. Seagaur in the red and blue spools are good stuff.

    I found this on line:
    Fluorocarbon leader material is SUPER refined for Super low visiablity under water. The leader material is manufactured to have the almost the same refactive index as water. Fluorocarbon line isn't. The line is cheaper to make.
    I have found the fluoro leader seems a bit stiffer than the line.

    Thanks, FinC..., your input is always a strike, no pun intended.
