No argument intended, just my personal preference and looking for feedback from those who do use it
So is flouro really necessary? The definitive answer is only if you think it is, I suppose...
Cost-wise, I've spent more on less
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

That's true. I have no business pointing fingers when i look at my plug inventory. Not exactly all stuff I needed and the back ups to back ups in every color don't make me a better fisherman.
Stupid stuff you've spent money on for fishing might make a pretty good thread. I definitely was a sucker that thought I needed all the bells and whistles when I first got into this sport. I actually listened to that guy with the scent strips rant the first time I went to MSBA. I'm surprised I was not fishing them off the back of my plugs that year.

I have seen flurocarbon make a huge difference on a couple of occasions. Both times were while fishing in the day which to me is the only time it would really matter. Maybe under moonlight?
I was with a guy chumming herring in Gloucester and we were looking over the side of the boat watching the bass come up and take the pieces. They refused the pieces that were attached with hook directly to mono. I had my bag with me and put on a leader of fluro and I started hooking up immediately. I am a true believer for this reason. I can not speak to the abrasion resistance, but can say that I have caught many a bluefish that has been unable to bite through the fluro although they were successful in fraying it a bit.
