Re: Flouralcarbon-ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

I have been wondering about this also. I use Florocarbon leaders when fishing for snapper and such, but was considering spooling up with floro all the way. Thought maybe the less stretch the better when fishing depts of 60 to 100 feet. You can really get a headache trying to figure all this out!

Agreed CAVU!!!

Like I say, the right tool for the right job is the one that works for you and you have the most confidence in. Everything else is opinion and marketing......

I thought floroclear was coated mono and not pure florocarbon.I haven't tried the floroclear,also i now use a swivel above my worms and jigs and has also virtually eliminated my break offs.Also changed to seaguar 15 lb.
