When you encounter Kings and breaking leaders can you eliminate the floro leaders altogether and go right to main line with snap swivel or will that reduce your catching? Or step up the floro to 20 lb Thanks for any help

I don't normally get cracked off on kings with 15# unless they take the lure down deep...  In fact I use #15 or #17 all summer on spoon rods. 

  #15 is usually pretty good and I just have my drags set accordingly ..

   As far as flouro.    I absolutely 100% will not run spoons or sticks without it ... You never know what kind of water your going to encounter . 

   Now brands of Flourocarbon leader material is important also .. I personally had terrible luck with Pline.    I don't only use Seguar.

I have had bad luck with PLine fluoro as well and only use Seaguar and Yozuri for leaders, same for saltwater.

I use Pline on my spinning rods for crappie and walleye, but agree that the higher tensile strength material doesn't seem to perform as effectively as Seaguar.
