any good i mean its pink how does it "dissapper"?
ya or nah?
thanks-austin

Fleurocarbon is super compressed monofilament as I understand it. Compressed to the point that is is completely void of air bubbles. Like ten feet of mono is equal to 1 foot of fleuro. Yes it makes a difference. The yozuri dissapearing pink stuff has a significantly smaller diameter than seaguar and others and gets bit better in my opinion.

yup it def works for us!![]()
cool..i will try some....any other opinions??
Pink is the first color to disappear underwater.

When does clear disappear?
Not to correct anyone but fluorcarbon materials and vastly different than monofiliment. Mono filiment is typically a nylon based extrudate made by blending different molecular weight resins (nylons) to achieve desired results; ie strength (tensile) and elongation (stretch) then there other stuff like abrasion resistance which goes hand in hand typically with tensile as a function of hardness..bored yet...
Then there are fluorocarbon materials made form vastly different polymers and copolymers but are typically not based in anything but other fluorocarbons. They are expensive as chit in raw material form and can only be extruded in corrosion protected machines usually made from hastoloy or inconel...they are tough to extrude and the list of PIA stuff in the manufacture goes on and on....
So what's the deal...well the light refractive index of fluoropolymers is supposed to be much closer to water (don't know who's water they compared it to) but anytime you can get close to the same refractive index...your getting more invisible
Now there's some wham a jama bullchit out there that may be monofilifment then drawn through a wash of fluoropolymer like a cheap top coating and marketed as fluoro..kind of like a free lunch.
My thought is if your trolling in the wash then mono is fine. If your chunking or in a real clean water fussy bite deal then maybe spending some beans is worth it. If you like what you got then stick with it...confidence is a main ingredient in succcess....
One thing that real fluoropolymer is way cool at is it's bullet proff against UV so don't throw away old unused stuff. I pulled some 10year old 130 Seagar and it tested at 150...but like anythng else if yu have fought a large beast and have tested the bejesus out of it then defiently replace it
Most importantly have fun and cathchemup![]()
I thought who I was listening to knew what he was talking about...Apparently not, thanks for setting me straight on the fluero seeker. I still believe in the stuff wholeheartedly.
