FLOUROCARBON LEADER LINE

Fluorocarbon fishing line, also known as "fluoro" line, is a single strand of polymer made from polyvinylidene fluoride pellets that are melted down. It has several advantages over monofilament lines, including:
  • Abrasion resistance
    Fluorocarbon is rigid and can withstand rocks, wood, sand, and gravel without breaking.
  • Visibility
    Fluorocarbon is less reflective and smaller than monofilament, making it harder for fish to see underwater. This makes it a good choice for clear water conditions.
  • Less stretching
    Fluorocarbon is less stretchy than monofilament, making it suitable for baits that require a stronger hookset.
  • Sinking
    Fluorocarbon sinks, making it well suited for bottom bouncing techniques, crank baits, and jerk baits.
  • Energy transmission
    Fluorocarbon's tightly packed molecules transmit more energy than monofilament, which can help telegraph information from the other end of the line, such as light bites.
  • Realism
    Fluorocarbon's lack of line signature can increase the realism factor of the bait
