I have flat lined for years using mono with a wire leader the shock of a
hook up was taken by the mono, have also fished Blue fin tuna off of
Prince Edward Island using a daisy chain of Mackerel and a kinked leader
of steal attached to steal both were very effective.

I heard from the charter captain. He said when they put the baits on
fine wire leaders, they just don't float in the water the right way and
the tuna almost never hit them. That's the main reason they use mono.
So, I'm wondering if there' s some bait you could put on there that the
tuna would hit but the kings wouldn't... probably not.

And there you have it. :)
