I like my bait to sit lower in the water.

In other words, not on top? So your not really fishing topwaters anymore.

You can try and try and try this one, but I'm sorry, not too many are going to buy this recommendation at all. I could see fluoro workign as a short leader to braid, something I in fact use with BIG topwater baits for northern pike, like 12" of 100# fluoro attached to 50# braid, but as you are describing it, and as a general recommendation for topwaters, mmmmmm no, it doesn't work dude.

Sorry iif it seems like we're picking, we're not. I'd hate for some kid in your shoes to spend nearly $20 on a spool of line, only for it to simply not work the way topwaters work for everyone else.

Its still on top, just more of it underwater than with say a floating line.

I know im not going to win. It can be wrong to everyone else, but its still right to me.

And do you notice that your bait is not on top?

Edit: Why did you delete your post?

I felt it was worded kinda bad

OK. I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything, but what does having the bait sit lower in the water do?

What are the advantages of having it in the water rather than on top?

I am sure it work with some baits, but will alter the presentation.  I am also sure it will actually sink certain baits, as I have observed 1st hand.  As a general recommendation, it doesn't make sense.  To a great many of us.
