except the price? I know fluoro is supposed to be more invisible, more abrasive-resistant, and has lower stretch for better hooksets

I stopped using fluoro.  I know it has some advantages, but for me the stiffness outweighed the advantages.   As for advantages, apparently stretch isn't one of them - at least according to articles posted at that other website.  You can read the fluoro showdown articles here:

Only one;  mono floats...kind of......

I compromised, I use fluoro for spinning gear on several of the crystal clear reservoirs that i fish locally where it is a must to catch any quantity of fish but otherwise i stick to Copolymer like P-Line CXX or Izorline Platinum XXX they have less stretch than mono and a lot of strength.

Fluoro allows your crankbaits to dive deeper.

I still use mono on crankbait setups.  I like that extra stretch on hooksets with crankbaits.

When I first started fishing topwater baits on a consistent basis, I used mono exclusively.  When I would get excited at seeing the strike, and set the hook a tad too early, the stretch would help offset that a bit.

You are correct, also sinks, as pointed.

Mono is cheaper, more readily available and (in my opinion) more friendly on spinning reels

Thats about it imo.

X2

Cheaper, and easier to manage (much more limp).

I like the fact that i can actually cast mono out and not have it spring off the reel like supid fluoro does.  Every single time i've tried to use fluoro, i have ended up with a bird's nest.  

I like 17 lb flouro for prop baits.

I know conventional wisdom states that you shouldn't use flouro for topwaters, but I never noticed any difference at all.

I like the flouro because the stiffness keeps the line from wrapping around the front prop.

PS - I ran my own ultra non scientific study of flouro transparency

Namely, I lowere a line with 17 lb flouro next to a line with trilene big game 17 lb.

I could see both untill I couldn't see either,  No difference at all

All the negatives I had about Fluorocarbon Vanished when I took Fourbizzle's advice and switched to Seguar InvisX.  Well all the negatives except for the price

Another plus is that if you are worming or jiging in deeper water and making longer casts, you'll have a more direct link to your bait.  If you use mono, your line doesn't go straight to your bait.  It makes a bend which can take away from sensitivity and hooksets.

Fluoro has never bothered me jumping off the spool but I use tough line normally on them, so my solution for this problem on spinning reels is to spool the line with the natural memory of the line as well as under fill the spool.

Mono has better knot strenght wich outweighs anything IMO

if you can tie a good knot it shouldn't matter as well as the fact that most fluoro i've used has been thinner than mono so you can get away with higher lb tests

You know, this is a very simple question with a very difficult answer.

Some pros use 90% fluoro while others use mono.

Don't get all caught up with which type of line is the best.  Each has its own individual applications.

Use what you like in the test, color and type (tough, smooth, etc.) you like.

Read articles about which line is the best for which presentations and what the guys have already given you as their input.

I agree with the mono on a spinning reel and fluoro on a baitcaster.  But each body of water, time of year, depth of the fish, water clarity, structure you are fishing, water temperature, your selected lures and your presentations are all factors to consider and until you experiment with both mono and fluoro lines you will just have to do your best with each type of presentation and setup.

Man, I wish this was an easy question to answer.

Lines are still driving me crazy!

I use mono for everything. My trout set ups, my bass set ups, and my striper rod.

I think it is just because I have never had any problem with mono, or have read any real negatives about mono. The only real negative that could be said is that it stretches, and the only time this wouldn't be good is long hook sets, but a heavier power and faster action rod could make up for the stretch.s

Anyway, I have been using mono for ten years since I started fishing in Junior high, and never had problems with it. I have used it in the ocean and in ponds and it seems to hold up well. I don;t want the hassle of braid or fluro to ruin a day fishing.

You always see bill dance using stren original, so mono can;t be that bad. The only time I've seen him use something else is int he Pickwick Top Cat episode this season when bottom fishing and drifting bait for catfish.

Jimmy Houston is always using Trilene XT.

There are two examples of two highly accredited fishing veterans that use mono on a regular basis.

Mono has been around for decades and has had decades to be tweaked and upgraded.

I trust my old friend mono, and I trust that it will be around in the next few decades.

I personally only use mono on top waters and buzz baits (it floats better).  But if you like fluoro rub some old style non scented or colored chapstick (or Carmex) on your fingers and run it down your line.  The waxy substance in the chapstick will give it more bouyancy.

I do think Mono casts longer though lb for lb.
