For some reason I thought it was because the leader was less visable to the
fish, so they are less likely to be spooked.
Oh oh - I feel a rant coming on. :)
I've always been interested in the whole "spook the fish" concept
because I believe it's a superstitution or rational for a poor day on
the water not catching fish.
The whole point of using a bait or attractor is to trigger a fish into
striking. It seems counter intuitive that the same bait would "spook"
a fish into not striking.
Fish don't take bait for any number of other reasons, but "spooking"
fish isn't one of them.
Whew - I got my point across with a rant - Dude!!!!
