Mono is probably the best, but I and others do use flourocarbon. Here's the reason: On top water action, the first reaction is to set the hook when we see activity on the water. We usually set too soon and lose the fish. If we use mono, it has that stretch, which gives little more time to set the hook. Unless you are an expert on topwater fishing, use mono.

The more natural you can make your presentation the better chance you will have of fooling that big old bucket mouth. Also, fluorocarbon has less drag than braided lines, so again it makes the presentation more natural. Good luck! It is not absolutely “necessary”, but it sure does help.

If you are fishing crystal clear water ( able to see bottom) then use a flourocarbon leader for better results. This'll throw the fish off a bit and allow your lure to seem more natural. If you're fishing heavy cover, stick with the braid because you'll need that extra power to rip through the weeds and what not. Using floroucarbon here is just a matter of choice at this point. If you feel that fish are finicky or just skittish, try the floro line to throw in a twist. That depends on water clarity.

Also its better for knot strength.
