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.
