If flouro means putting 1 more fish up on the rocks or deck over the course of a season Im going with it.

Have used the yozuri pink with no ill effects. #80

$1200-800 reels
$400 rods
$289 waders

Im not going to save anything by not spending the $24-30 on flouro.

If you believe that youre saving money by not using flouro ive got a bridge for sale ln jamestown, its fairly new and has ony had 1 owner.

I've tested a lot of fluorocarbon lines last time from#20 to #40. Mainly Seaguar but also Ande, P-line, pink Yo-Zury and before Vanish.
All of them have shown stencil strength 20-40% less vs. stated on label. Especially on the knots. (I've used Trilene, Palomar or Uni knots very carefully tied). Only Trick Fish (Former Triple Fish) #25 has shown 22lb strength.
May be FC has some advantages like heavy weight and (sometimes) invisibility but for me strength more important.
I've switch to Maxima an have no problem.

Vic, with me it has nothing at all to do with cost. I have tried a number of Flouros on the market over the years. maybe it makes a difference when fishing in daylight. I wouldn't know. When Oakley and I fished the surf together we never wet a line in daylight. Vampires we were.
Now, in the boat and at the Canal I fish strictly at night. I have not seen nor experience any empirical evidence that says Flouro is better at night.

No boat, back in the suds.
