Question: 
What line (mono vs no stretch) do you prefer to use pulling typical bottom bouncer presentation? Some folks opt for the sensitivity of fireline to feel bites and structure while others argue they don't want sensitivity they want stretch to let bites develop.

Answer:

I use 15lb Vanish fluorocarbon for most of my BB fishing. Tough stuff with lower stretch. I do like some stretch for fighting the fish and getting a little shock absorption.

If I go deep (say over 30 feet) then I switch to 10lb Fireline. Once I get that deep I want to be sure to feel the bottom (Fireline has great sensitivity) so that I don't let out too much line and start dragging the bouncer.

Fireline is also thin diameter so cuts through the water better and typically allows me to use a little lighter bouncer.
