Do we NEED Fluorocarbon to catch fish?

[MagicRik]

As i fish i like to take in whats going on around me. And its hit me that fish are getting smarter or fussier about what they will eat. The reason for my thinking this is that the bream out back wont hit anything on a hook.
Ive tryed all my SP's on a 1/26 size 2 hook and they just swim away >:(
But the guy next door comes out with half a loaf of bread and just throws it in and they go nuts.

So do you guys think that fluoro is going to make a difference?
Or is it my bait or am i going to have to do thing stupid like bread on a small hook and no sinkers.

Thanks Rik

m8 u have to do what works.
When baiting for bream I usually take 3 to 4 set ups 1 with light flurocarbon 4lb one with light sinker maybe a long leader different baits etc.
If any set up starts producing better results bingo!The same setup doesn't always work on each trip.
One thing though fluro c. isn't the beall.Its just another option,that might work on a particular day.
Most times it slightly outfishes other setups that I use.

sort of seems obvious, if someone comes along with a loaf of bread and "they go nouts" they like bread!! if you want to catch them then use the old adage "match the hatch" but in this case "match the bread" not too difficult a task huh! but you will probably get one eventually if you really persist with lures or something just for fun.

i used to catch more fish before bloody, sounders, flourocarbon,carbon fibre, soft plastics, braid, electric motors,4 strokes, and kick arse ,spinning and baitcasting reels, so as to your question, yes i do think flourocarbon makes a difference.
