IMO, FC leaders are a total waste of money. I also think the

Until it works for you . . . .

I've caught fish on FC tippet, and I've caught fish on mono tippet. It
doesn't seem to make any difference to me.

Here's what I think happens. Someone goes fishless for awhile and, in
desperation, tries FC. Then he catches a fish. Eureka! FC is suddenly the
greatest thing ever invented. It never occurs to the poor chump that maybe
he was just due.

The same thing happens with flies.


Hm.......fascinating theory. But.......um.......well, how would one ever
know.......unless one counted fish?

who begins to suspect there's more to this flyfishing business than meets
the eye of the casual observer.
