I tried flouro and hated it. Not a question of cost , it just wasn't durable enough for my liking at the Canal. I tried Stren flouro which poeple say was crap but anyway , I like the Ande , tough stuff.

90% of the time i use 50 lb big game. Although i am going to try some of that suffix siege or that back Country stuff... its supposed to be stronger around rocks.

That Orvis Mirage flouro stuff is the best.. I dont like flouro becuase its hard to tie good knots with it due to its stiffness, but on the otherhand, The only reason i would use flouro at night would be for its abrasion ressistance.
