I use fluoro for two reasons. fish with a tendancy towards leadershyness, and when light tipet is required near obstacles. Fish with leader shyness in my opinion are salmonids and tuna like fishes. If I am fishing for stripers near hangups I usually jump up to 20# maxima from 15#. I see no reason to use fluoro for bass or blues. For trout/steelhead fluoro is the way to go if you intend to catch big fish near obstacles. I used to live in WA state and fished a lake with monster rainbows and unforgiving cat-tails. the big fish would almost always run into the weeds. I found that the fluoro in light weights was far more abraison resistant than normal mono. Now, I was using 3-4 # test line. On albies and bonito I have notices a distinct advantage with fluoro. I have also been bone fishing and had very few refusals with 12# fluoro.
