Flourocarbon coated

[BillT]

I have purchased Pline Floroclear which is a fluorocarbon coated line. What does that mean?  I have found it stiff and kinks and while it works for heavier weights, 3/8 oz and above, it doesn't work well for 4# line.  Is flourocarbon better than this stuff.  I'd rather stay with Mono

Flouroclear is a "co-polymer" line.   Flourocarbon coated monofilament.   

I actually liked it before P-Line CX Premium came along (which is also a co-poly).    

All 100% florocarbon gets kinks, especially in the cold.  Nature of the beast I think.  I still like it better than mono because of its abrasion resistance and slightly lower stretch.

Ask Bassmaster#1 on here about Fluoroclear.  He’s lost more fish and lures using that stuff.  Not sure why he still uses it. Snaps on casts, snaps on hookups.  CX Premium is so much better of a line in my experience.

I usually use Yozuri hybrid which is a copolymer. But lately because of this very clear water, I’ve been using Seagaur InvizX. It has a pretty  smooth surface finish, which reduces the friction, (and therefore heat) that is created when cinching the knot. This equates to not as much damage and more strength. It’s also very supple for a 100% fluorocarbon. It does have a little more stretch than I like but overall seems pretty good.

Thanks, too many different lines for me, but I like to try them.

I tried fluorclear about 5 years ago. I fished one tournament and a couple times just out fishing and took it off all my reels. It kept breaking on the hook sets.
