Hi All, am getting setup with my own gear to give top-water stickbaits a go,   can anyone tell me a reasonably priced way to get the proper supple type casting mono ?  Not really keen on paying couple hundy for top end stuff.  Any ideas or brand recommendations appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks all for your recommendations, excuse my lack of knowledge but are any of these classed as true "casting leader" ?

if you are only using the leader for casting i find that mono works well. With a flurocarbon leading it can be awkward for casting and as kingfish normally follow a stickbait/poper from behind the wont see the mono leader anyway. live baiting for sure stick with flurocarbon.

Hopefully that helps.

Cheers
