Well I used google and BPS Flourocarbon is made by TORAY and apparently the TORAY line of Super Hard Strong Flourocarbon is what you get at Bass Pro for half the price of the TORAY label.
Just what I found... If anyone knows different post....

Just to clarify right now LFT does not yet have its true 100% fluoro out but there is the FluoroHybrid line which is a copolymer coated in fluoro. It has the same characteristics as fluoro and has been great for me so far. I am really imprssed by it and have been testing/using it the last 6-12 months. I will saya ton of it has been sold the last month or so and I am still waiting to hear the fist negative word about it. I just wanted to make sure I pointed out that its not pure fluor as of yet but that version is coming. Thanks

How often would it be recommened to retie to keep the flouro coating at the knot strongest. And would you still use a flouro knot?

The LFT uses amulti-coating system and its pretty significant. The line itself would have to break down first I would think. It requires the same knot mainentance just as most lines do. Always wet the knot before cinching and retie often or at least check you line often. The LFT line is VERY abrasion resistant but again I would still check often. The San Diego Jam knot seems to be the best knot for the LFT line in terms of all around use. Here is a link to some data and info on the LFT lines that Iposted a little while back that also includes a diagram for the San Diego Jam knot. http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbt...id_#Post3137207

Anyone tried the suffix floro or the sunline shooter Shooter is Da Bomb, but big $$$$$. Also it has very little stretch and is thus prone to breaking under a high shock loading. Do NOT use it for Swimbaits! I type from experience. TFP

The correct name is the Heiliger Knot. Please, proper terminology. TFP

Hi-SEAS 100% Fluorocarbon will ABSOLUTELY put any other brand of FC to total shame. It is simply the BEST fluoro on the market, hands down. MUCH better knot strength and abrasion resistance than any other line, extremely easy handling and virtually no memory. On top of this, I have numerous stories to back up how amazingly strong this line is. This may seem like a total shameless sponsor promotion but I ASSURE you that I'm being 110% genuine when I tell you that Hi-SEAS Fluorocarbon is the far and away the best there is. TRY IT. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. www.HiSeas.net

P line 100%. Has a little memory but they can't break it.Low stretch. Look at the tackletour test for strength and stretch.
