Is Fluorocote basically coated monofilament line?

Featured Replies

I recently bought some Kastking Fluorocote line to use as a leader material.  I think I want to stick with mono for my leaders.  Is Fluorocote almost the same as mono line?

 

Thanks,

No - it's fluorocarbon coated co-polymer.

From their website - https://kastking.com/collections/fluorocarbon-line/products/kastking-fluorokote-fishing-line

"It's a combination of the No.1 selling KastKing Copolymer Fishing Line with high-tech 100% fluorocarbon coating that reduces the line's visibility when immersed in water."

Like stated it is flouro coated co-polymer.  The kast king flouro clear is decent stuff.  Probably imho better than pline flouro clear, Berkley vanish, and stren flouro or best of the cheap flouro co-polymers.  
 

I have had 20 lbs kast king flouro clear spooled up on my swim jig rod since last may and I have had no problems with it at all .  I also use it as leader material for my t-rig and jig rod which has 30 lbs power pro spooled on it 

Man, Kast King becoming the fast food of fishing. Giving the people what they want for cheap. Maybe someday i'll try it ...

Thanks, appreciate the responses.  I bought some as a leader material but will probably return and either stick with mono or add true Fluorocarbon.

It’s great stuff when you consider the price. I agree with the statements above and rank it higher than P-Line, Vanish and Stren Fluorocast all of which I have tried.
