# **How to Choose Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon Bulk Spool 1200 Yards Mainline or Leader Fluoro**
When it comes to fishing lines, fluorocarbon has become a favorite among anglers for its low visibility, abrasion resistance, and sensitivity. The **Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon Bulk Spool (1200 Yards)** is a top-tier option for both mainline and leader applications. But how do you decide whether to use it as a mainline or leader material? In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when choosing between these two setups.
## **Understanding Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon**
Before making a decision, it’s important to understand the properties of **Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon**:
– **Low Visibility**: Fluorocarbon has a refractive index similar to water, making it nearly invisible to fish.
– **Abrasion Resistance**: It holds up well against rocks, structure, and toothy fish.
– **Sensitivity**: Transmits vibrations better than monofilament, helping detect subtle bites.
– **Sink Rate**: Unlike nylon monofilament, fluorocarbon sinks faster, which is great for deep presentations.
Given these advantages, Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon is versatile—but choosing between **mainline and leader use** depends on your fishing style and target species.
## **Using Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon as a Mainline**
### **Pros:**
✅ **Full-Length Stealth** – Since the entire line is fluorocarbon, fish won’t see any transition between line types.
✅ **Better Sensitivity** – Direct contact with the lure improves bite detection.
✅ **Durability** – Less risk of abrasion wear compared to braid-to-leader setups.
### **Best Applications:**
– **Deep Cranking & Jigging** – The fast sink rate helps lures reach strike zones quickly.
– **Clear Water Fishing** – In highly pressured waters, full fluorocarbon mainlines reduce visibility concerns.
– **Finesse Techniques** – Drop-shotting, shaky head, and Ned rigs benefit from the line’s sensitivity.
### **Considerations:**
⚠ **Stretch & Memory** – Fluorocarbon has more stretch than braid, which can affect hooksets at long distances.
⚠ **Line Management** – Larger spools (1200 yards) are great for frequent re-spooling but may be overkill for some setups.
## **Using Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon as a Leader**
Many anglers prefer **braid mainline + fluorocarbon leader** for the best of both worlds.
### **Pros:**
✅ **Strength & Sensitivity** – Braid offers superior strength and no stretch, while the fluoro leader provides invisibility.
✅ **Cost-Effective** – Using a short leader (3-10 ft) means less fluorocarbon consumption.
✅ **Versatility** – Easily swap leaders for different fishing conditions without changing the entire spool.
### **Best Applications:**
– **Topwater & Heavy Cover** – Braid’s buoyancy and strength pair well with a fluoro leader for abrasion resistance.
– **Saltwater Fishing** – Fluorocarbon resists UV damage and is less prone to nicks from sharp-toothed fish.
– **Finesse Presentations** – A thin fluoro leader helps when fish are line-shy.
### **Considerations:**
⚠ **Knot Strength** – Fluorocarbon is stiffer than mono, so use reliable knots like the **FG Knot** or **Double Uni Knot**.
⚠ **Leader Length** – Adjust based on water clarity (longer in clear water, shorter in stained water).
## **Final Decision: Mainline or Leader?**
The choice depends on your fishing style:
– **Go for Mainline** if you need **full stealth, deep presentations, or finesse fishing**.
– **Opt for Leader** if you want **the strength of braid with the invisibility of fluoro** in clear or abrasive conditions.
The **Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon Bulk Spool (1200 Yards)** is an excellent investment for both applications. Whether you spool it entirely or use it as a leader, its durability and performance will enhance your fishing success.
### **Pro Tip:**
If you’re unsure, try both setups in different scenarios. Many tournament anglers carry both configurations to adapt to changing conditions.
