Fluorocarbon Reviews

Featured Replies

I found it quite interesting as well, but I found some errors that I hope they address.  For example, the fluorocarbon they tested from Cableas is initially listed as 10 lb. test, but further in the test (graphs, etc.) they label it as 12 lb. test.  Depending on which one it really is would affect the breaking strength and knot breaking strength percentages.  They also mentioned the stretch issue and I hope they elaborate later.  Overall though, it was a good report.

An interesting report. They debunked the idea that flouro has less stretch and knots are a major problem.

Breaking strength was interesting, but not of much significance. The line makers can rate their line whatever they want to. It's all about marketing. They know that at least a few people will buy a line marketed as the "strongest ten pound test in the world". They just won't say that it's the same size as the next guy's 14.

I started copying the numbers into a spreadsheet, so I can do a little analysis on the data. I'll post up my results, for what little they will be worth, when I get around to finishing.

Cheers,

My review is I haven't found a flurcarbon line that I have liked yet
