I used Flouro leaders exclusively last year. After the experience, the only time I won't use it is when the air temps are below freezing. I fished Jersey on Dec 28 - Jan 2 this winter. It was quite cold, in the teens and twenties at times. I broke off three flouro hi-lo rigs below the top barrel swivel upon casting, and I rarely do that. I am convinced that the flouro gets brittle or something in cold weather, so I suppose I have to vote "sometimes".
