He could, yep.

But I don't get bite offs hardly ever with braid. But fluoro does work well too.

Mono sucks though, lol.

The problem is when your talking about using a fluoro leader, its used to prevent bite offs right? So, depending on how you set it up, your adding one or two other connections to the mainline. Every connection is gonna lessen the strength of the mainline. So does that really help???

Another thing to remember too is that alot of guys that use fluoro leaders, are using 100lb+.

10lb isn't really gonna do much, but add connections and lessen the strength.

The one area where fluoro shines is it's invisibility. But honestly, for the most part I don't think that makes a very big difference, at least IMO.

But, in the end, the only way to know for yourself is to try it...
