Thinking of using the 2# not sure if I spool up new line or use it as a leader line. What’s your thoughts?

What are you fishing for with a 2# leader?
Micro fishing?

I only use fluro for a leader line. So I’m only using 4-8 feet at a time and it make my fluro use much cheaper. It’s not something I’d really recommend spooling up a whole reel with.

Mono to flouro leader feels silly imo.
Braid to leader yes though
I’m assuming this is ultralight. I would just spool it with the mono and see how it goes. UL on 2lb is a lot of fun, but you definitely need to be more careful with fish and not horse them in.
Bluegill and Crappie aren’t really line shy. You’re fine just running monofilament. Use flouro if you are fishing for trout and you will definitely see a difference.

Oh god so let me start here…fluro is expensive because it’s marketing.. you can easily fish on 6lb to 10 mono ez for just about anything.i tested vanish that thing snaps so easy I wonder what the 2lb will do…my suggestion is return the 2lb…like panfish and small fish is dumb I fished em with 40lb braid when at cottage and no problem. Mono gives more strength and more flexible but before we get into the deep stuff what r u using that for?

I like copolymer and flouro coated mono. I’ve caught 1/2″ bluegill on it no problem. And even a 5.5lb carp on the 4lb test I have

Do some research on what bodies of water are around you, the type of fish you have available near you, and how to properly fish for them with gear. Those two lines are for ultralight fishing I.E. panfish, trout in streams. Other than that, it’s not a leader, and you’re not going to be doing bass fishing with those lines.

You can use fluoro as mainline for ultralight but more expensive line is significantly better with memory. Also, even the best lines like tatsu or samurai will get memory and make wind knots. I’ve been running 4lb tatsu on my ultra light and it’s been great but every so often I’ll get a wind knots that requires retying my lure. I’d say every 5 hours of casting I’ll get 1 knot. Which is fine for me
