I wouldn't do that.....not needed and too expensive. You will find even using a 2# test fluro line it is too stiff to cast a 1/64 ounce jig any distance. Fluro line and fluro leader are two different things. The difference is the refraction index. Leader will usually have a much lower refraction index. The best leader is the Seaguar Grand Max in the 7x. I use a lot of Phantom 2# test leader but if the trout fishing is tough I go to the Grand Max...it will make a difference. There is a reason the Grand Max costs 3 times the price of a lot of other leaders.
