thank you all for the help! I will be changing out the fluoro with some mono to increase my versatility.

Does mono work well for cranking or do you add a fluoro leader? From what I've read, the visibility and floatability of mono doesn't bode well for medium to deep diving crankbaits.

Currently I have three rods: one finesse rod (7ft medium/fast spinning rod with 6.0:1 spinning reel), one "utility" rod (7ft 3in medium heavy/fast action casting rod with a 7.3 :1 reel), and one cranking rod. Here are the specifics on the cranking rod: Rod = Shimano SLX Casting Rod (7ft 2in Medium Heavy Glass/Moderate Action) Reel = Shimano SLX XT 150 (6.3:1) Line = Sunline Crank Fluorocarbon 12lb I've just started seriously fishing and have this setup to work with. I use the utility rod for most applications and the spinning for obvious finesse stuff. I'm trying to find other uses for my cranking setup. I thought about using it for topwater, but think the fluoro will be an issue. I thought about tying a mono leader to it, but I'm not sure if that'll work well or if I should abandon the idea. I'm open to any and all feedback and appreciate the help!
