  1. Braided line
  2. Fluorocarbon ✔
  3. Wire leader

Why: Fluorocarbon is very hard for fish to see and stands up to scrapes from rocks and teeth. That is why it is often used as a leader.

Huh, didn't know that: Take Me Fishing calls fluorocarbon the perfect complement to braid, and a few brands now sell it as main line.
