Fluorocarbon fishing line

Fluorocarbon fishing line

Most and best bottoms are made of fluorocarbon. Of course it is possible to use a fluorocarbon main line, but it is popular and suitable as a underline or forerunner. The most important feature is the visibility, a fluorocarbon underline is hardly visible for fish. If you fish for fish like zander, carp and trout it can really bring in more fish. These fish have good eyes.
Other advantages compared to braided line or nylon fishing line are a high density through which the line sinks, it has less memory so it remains supple and is not sensitive to UV light, making it last longer. 

Of course fluorocarbon line also has disadvantages, the most important of which is the lower tensile strength. It is much less strong than nylon, let alone braided line. Because of this it often has a thicker diameter. The thick diameter in turn makes it more resistant to throwing and in the water. This makes it less fine as a main line.

Want to buy fluorocarbon line? Then you might notice that it is slightly more expensive than other lines, but the advantage is that it lasts longer. You also need less meters of fluorocarbon so you can use a spool a lot.
