Fluorocarbon

[courtz]

found this image on the web comparing fluorocarbon(orange pop up) and monofilament(white pop up) which may be interesting. You really can tell the difference.

 

This is because fluorocarbon has a light reflection property close to water

 

Flourocarbon: 1.39

Water: 1.41

Monofilament: 1.59

 

i never knew the difference would be this much though.

Seaguar should be the only F.C on the market. I have NEVER had it break off.

yes mate they do

 

i think nash make them under thei 'end game' products

 

or just use some 30lb flourocarbon like a 'mini shockleader' with knots etcc, and have it about 3 or 4 ft long

i think the nash ones retail at about 2.99 fo a 4ft leder with two fused loops. with a swivel at one end. And they are called 'nash limpet fluorocarbon leaders'

 

it's cheaper to buy a spool of fluorocarbon such as berkely vanish from somewhere like ebay, as it wil be alot cheaper, but more hassle with connecting it.

 

i tie mine to my mainline via a shockleader knot
