I feel strongly that these leaders lend more action to crankbaits and sensitive top water lures. Lures like the Doc or Dancin’ Raider that are zig-zag top waters really respond well to the physical lightness of fluoro leaders. Without the added weight of wire in front of the lure, the top water stays higher in the water and reacts very well to each twitch provided from the rod.
