I started using fluorocarbon when it first was brought to market. I had been fishing with mono for 50 years. I can say that I have broken off more fish with fluoro than all the years before using mono. I've tried several different brands since it was introduced and I haven't found one that I like. I like it's sensitivity but that is it's only redeeming virtue. Mono stretches', where fluoro breaks. Maybe lighter action rods would help, but there goes your sensitivity, so why pay more for the same thing. David Fritz says fluoro weakens a little on each cast and will eventually break after repeated cast during a days fishing. I may e wrong, but the pros are sponsored by line companies and I suspect that they are required to promote fluoro. I'm sure fluoro has it's place, just not on my reels.
