Flourocarbon leader

I spent some time last night retying my terminal tackle and leader connections, as well as sharpening some hooks... drying waders and surf bags, cleaning reels (I spent most of tuesday night with waves going over my waders).

I've been using flourocarbon leader this season and I had read/heard that after some time in the sun and salt, flouro loses its "invisible in water" characteristics.

Does anyone have any hard and fast rules for how long they continue to use their leader, assuming of course, its still in good shape (no fraying, nicks, etc.)? And is this material then worse than mono as far as visibility goes?

I appreciate any thoughts or theories.

Tight lines.
