If only I were sponsored by Yamamoto! They are a great site sponsor but I am not a pro staff member or anything like that.
The thing with using florocarbon leaders does seem to be working out very nicely. After making a few hundred casts on Saturday around docks and wood and rocks at clear lake there was not one single nick or fray in the 30lb Sugoi (did I still spell that wrong?) line I was using as leader material.
