I have been wondering about this too. I have used fluro in the past mostly when fly fishing. When using surf casting gear - I have stuck with 30 - 40lb Ande or Big Game mono. Was thinking of picking up some Ande fluro for this season. Always seem to think that you are using larger plugs, rubber, tins, etc., sometimes a swivel and a duolock snap, so how stealthy are you going to be if you just switch the mono to fluro? Is it really going to make a difference? That said, i did see some underwater fishing pictures where fluro was used and you could not see the line in the pictures - it did blend it. The line in the picutes was something like 10lb test though, so tough to judge what 40lb diameter line would look like in comparison.
It is expensive for the amount of line you get, but on the other hand - we spend a lot of money traveling to fish, on other equipment, etc. - so if it did make a difference the extra expense is very small especially if it meant more fish, or the difference in catching fish or getting skunked.
